Coslorga (Footprints)

Tá daoine a shiúlann inár saolta agus shiúlann amach astu go luath...
Tá daoine a fhanann ar feadh tamaill...
Agus fágann siad rianta a gcos ar ár gcroíthe...
Agus casann ár n-anamacha port nua go deo deo.
 

Some people come into our lives and quickly go...
Some people stay awhile...
And leave footprints on our hearts...
And we are never, ever the same

Life brings tears, smiles, and memories; and although tears dry and smiles fade, memories live forever. We are blessed with a lifetime of wonderful memories! (The loving family of Clarence Killian).

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into
An angel, and flies up to tell God
To put another flower on a pillow.
A bird gives the message back to the world,
And sings a silent prayer
That makes the rain cry.
People disappear,
But they never really go away.
The spirits up there
Put the sun to bed, 
Wake up grass,
And spin the earth in dizzy circles.
Sometimes you can see them dancing
In a cloud during the day-time,
When they’re supposed to be sleeping.
They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets
And make waves splash and tug at the tide.
They toss shooting stars
And listen to wishes.
And when they sing wind songs,
They whisper to us,
“Don’t miss me too much.
The view is nice and I’m doing just fine”.
