                              IN MEMORY
                                            OF
                    WILLIAM THOMAS UPTIGROVE
    
                     Shadows Of My Heart

       As I was laying in the days of yesteryear,
           a cloud floated across the setting sun.

               Darkness fell to the ground and
                blanketed me with its shadow.

                 Tingles crawled up my spine.

              The apprehension of being alone
                       took away my breath.

       The darkness of the night was illuminated
                          only by the stars.

                     I stare out my window;
                        as on my bed I lay.

                       Although I am alone;
          There is someone watching over me.

                     I know because he lives
               in the darkest cave of my heart.
          His face, his eyes, his smile, inside me!

            So how can I not reach out in love?
                      How can I not smile?

        The remembrance will show in my face.
     My eyes will be as the stars of the night sky.

          The blazing stars will forever be there;
to cast away the shadows of the darkest yesterday.

   Heaven Holds The Ones I Love ~ Sung by Nita Whitaker
                         ~ Song Written by Linda Thomson

                                 I've spent my life
                         Building castles of dreams
                                    Reaching for
                                 Each distant star
                            As tears clear my eyes
                                  I finally realize
                         Happiness is where you are
                          And I'm still a part of you
                        And you're still a part of me
                        I swear I'll always celebrate
                                   Your memory
                            You'll live inside of me

                       Heaven holds the ones I love
             I see your eyes twinkle in the skies above
                  My hopes are floating in the clouds
                The wind repeats your name out loud
                                        Ohhh
                       Heaven holds the ones I love

                               At times I'm unsure
                       Why our hearts must endure
                                     All the pain
                              And such great loss
                         But look what I've gained
                         I feel your kiss in the rain
                      It's your smile I miss the most
                          But I'm still a part of you
                And you're still the biggest part of me
                    And I swear I'll always celebrate
                                 Your memory
                       And trust what's meant to be     

                      Heaven holds the ones I love
              I see your eyes twinkle in the skies above
                   My hopes are floating in the clouds
                 The wind repeats your name out loud
                                          Ohhh
                        Heaven holds the ones I love

                        And in my grief and disbelief
                            One thing I know is true
                                Every breath I take
                     Brings me that much closer to you

                         Heaven holds the ones I love
               I see your eyes twinkle in the skies above
                     My hopes are floating in the clouds
                    The wind repeats your name out loud
                                         Ohhh
                          Heaven holds the ones I love

Don't stand by my grave and weep;
For I'm not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

                                                 OF
                           HERSHELL LAMAR CRAWFORD

                              Waiting For You

             The wind did blow on this winters morn,
Separate homes, one boy, one girl, in February were born.
                        Two lives destined to meet.
           They fell in love; their vows they did repeat.
                    Two children, one boy, one girl,
                        made their family so great.
             Two grands, two boys God granted them,
                       Their family circle was met.
          It was in summertime, in July, he went away.
   Such weeping, such sorrow, from the family that day;
                 He just had to go; he could not stay.
       He was met by Heaven's choir, just over the wall;
             With angels singing their welcoming call.
                 His smile, his face, lit with delight
                 As he looked at that beautiful site.
You see he walked on street of pure gold and silver too.
         He couldn't turn back; would you want him to?
             He's saving a place, like he promised to;
You'll join him, when on earth your journey is through.
