Angel In The Sky
(Terri Onorato)
There is a star in Heaven and on it is a place
that's been reserved for you since birth
a place meant for your name.
This star has watched you through the years
but it could not stand alone,
it rested high on angel wings
awaiting your trip home.
You slipped away, I held you close,
your soul flowed through my heart,
I felt your last breath through my tears
I felt your pain depart.
Tonight I looked up to the sky
and there for me to view
was one lone star shining bright
your name was shining too.
You were my angel on this earth,
you're my angel in the sky.
Wait for me, someday you'll see
                                       our names shine side by side.

Misty's Song
(Terri L. Onorato)
I hear a strong wind blowing
the last remnants of a storm,
and I remember how you used to shake
in such fear of thundering noise.
When I'd comfort you and tell you,
that "everything will be okay."
you looked at me quite doubtful
but by my side you'd stay.
Now the storms no longer frighten you
for the Heavens hold no fear.
You lounge above the darkening clouds
and whisper in my ear...
You tell me that at Rainbow Bridge
there is no pain to feel,
the storms they do not haunt you,
you are well and you are healed.
In my dreams you visit
and allow me one request.
To touch your coat, feel your strength
and your face, a soft caress.
The dream is nearly over
though just a fleeting moment passed,
the memory lingers in my heart
and forever I am blessed.
The winds are calming down now
time for you to go back Home,
as the wind chimes play a melody
so aptly titled "Misty's Song".
