  • Her Smile

    Though her smile is gone forever, And her hand we cannot touch, We still have so many memories, Of the one we loved so much. Her memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has her in his keeping, We have her in our hearts.

  • A Loving Mother And Grandmother

    A loving mother and grandmother so true, No one on earth we’ll find like you, For us you always did your best, God grant your soul eternal rest. We lost a mother with a heart of gold, How much we miss her can never be told, She shared our troubles and helped us along, If we follow her footsteps, We will never go wrong. We miss you from your fireside chair, Your loving smile and gentle air, Your vacant place no one can fill, We miss you mother and always will. The golden gates stood open, God saw you needed rest, His garden must be beautiful, He only akes the best.

  • When I Must Leave You

    When I must leave you for a little while, Please do not grieve and shed wild tears, And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile, And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same, Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near, And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky.

  • His Journey’s Just Begun

    Don’t think of him as gone away, His journey’s just begun, Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of him as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how he must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of him as living, In the hearts of those he touched, For nothing loved is ever lost, And he was loved so much.

  • Do Not Stand At My Grave

    Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am 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 the morning’s hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush. Of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine in the night, Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.

  • Distance Takes Us Far Apart

    Distance takes us far apart, And darkens my today, I have to keep remembering, You’re just a thought away. When the world is too confusing, Times are hard to bear, I pull your precious meaning, Your bright spirit, from the air. If I sometimes drift into A lonely state of mind, I gather up the memories, Of days we left behind. And though you’re not beside me, I can tap into my heart, And draw upon the warmth and love, That lives when we’re apart. And with these fond reflections, On the times when you were near, I sense a little bit of what, It’s like to have you here.

  • God Called Your Name

    God called your name so softly, That only you could hear, And no one heard the footsteps, Of Angels drawing near. The golden gates stood open, God saw you needed rest, His garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best.

  • To The Child Of My Heart

    To the Child of My Heart, O precious, tiny sweet little one, You will always be to me, So perfect, pure and innocent, Just as you were meant to be. We dreamed of you and of your life, And all that it would be, We waited and longed for you, To come and join our family. We never had the chance to play, To laugh, to rock, to wiggle, We long to hold you, touch you, And to listen to you giggle. I’ll always be your mother, He’ll always be your dad, You will always be our child, The child that we had. But now you’re gone . . . But yet you’re here, You are our sorrow and our joy, There’s love in every tear. Just know our love goes deep and strong, We’ll forget you never, The child we had, but never had, And yet will have forever.

  • I Need You God

    I need you God each day of life, I need you everywhere, When I am filled with joy, And when my heart is in despair. I need you when I have success, To keep reminding me, The only glory worth my while, Is in eternity. I need you when I falter, And I fall along the way, When I am miserable, dear God, And all the skies are grey, For only you can save me, When I am about to sink. And only you can help my mind, The way it ought to think, I need you God – please give me all, The grace and strength to win, Your blessing for each effort, And forgiveness for each sin.

  • I Remember

    I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine, I remember the day he took you, And will to the end of time. We made our vows together, Till death do us part, But when God came and took you, My whole world fell apart. The years we spent together, I keep within my heart, For they hold special memories, Which will never let us part. But I never knew such loneliness, Could bring such bitter pain, That memories would return to me, And wound my heart again. So even in deep despair I know that, Each tear I shed would grieve your heart, That loved me, So I’ll try and smile instead, If I searched the whole world through. I would not have found a wife like you, I think of you always, And miss you more each day, My heart is broken, What more can I say.

  • A Loving Husband

    A loving husband, father and grandfather too, Each one thought the world of you, For us you always did your best, God grant your soul eternal rest. Softly in the afternoon, You heard a gentle call, You took the hand God offered you, And quietly left us all. On that day you left us, Our hearts just broke in two, The smallest part is still with us, And the biggest part with you. We miss your smile, your joking ways, We miss the things you used to say, And when old times we do recall, It’s then we miss you most all all.

Our secret tears still flow, Oh, how we really loved you, No one will ever know.

  • For Loved Ones Left Behind

    The life that bring us happiness, Can quickly turn unkind, And bring a grief that’s hard to bear, For loved ones left behind. On the morning of your birthday, You heard a gentle call, You took the hand God offered you, And quietly left us all. God saw you getting tired, A cure was not to be, He put his arms around you, And whispered “come to me!” We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore, We did our best to the end, ‘Til we could do no more. With tearful eyes we watched you, And saw you pass away, Although we loved you dearly, We knew you could not stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

  • Lonely Is The Home

    Lonely is the home without you, Life to us is not the same, All the world would be like heaven, If we could have you back again. A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled. May the God of love and mercy, Care for our loved one who is gone, And bless with consolation, Those left to carry on. The happy hours we once enjoyed, How sweet their memory still, But death has left a vacant place, This world can never fill. How dearly we loved you, And prayed you might live, But Jesus just beckoned, And we had to give. God gave us strength to bear it, And courage to fight the blow, What it has meant to lose you, God alone will ever know.

  • Missed Prayer

    Missed in the morning of everyday, Missed in the evening as light fades away, Missed in a thousand and on little ways, Around every corner a memory stays. You gave us years of happiness, Then sorrow came with tears, You left us lovely memories, We will treasure through the years. May you rest in peace dear …., Is now our daily prayer, We thank you ……. for everything, Your love and all your care. Sweet Jesus take this message, To our dear Father up above, Tell him how we miss him, And give him all our love.

  • We Sat Beside Your Bedside

    We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore; We did our duty to the end, ‘Til we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away; And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay. You left behind some aching hearts, That loved you most sincere; We never shall and never will, Forget you, husband and father dear. For many years the family chain, Was closely linked together; But oh! that chain is broken now, The main link gone forever. The sunshine of our happy home, Must always clouded be; But Thou, O’Lord has sent this cross, We bear it all for Thee.

    Along the road of suffering, You found a little lane, That took you up to heaven, And ended all your pain. You may be out of sight, We may be worlds apart; But you are always in our prayers, And forever in our hearts.

  • Sudden Parting

    It was a sudden parting, Too bitter to forget, Those who loved you dearly, Are the ones who can’t forget. We often sit and think of you, And think of how you died, To think you could not say goodbye, Before you closed your eyes. Your life was one of kindly deeds, A helping hand for others needs, Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories left behind. The blow was hard, the shock severe, To part with one we loved so dear, Our loss is great, we’ll not complain, But trust in God to meet again. Two tired eyes are sleeping, Two willing hands are still, The one who worked so hard for us, Is resting at God’s will. Our family chain is broken, Nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The links shall join again.

  • To those I have left behind

    To those I have left behind, Some things I’d like to say, But first of all to let you know, That I’ve arrived o.k. I’m writing this from Heaven, Where I dwell with God above, Where there’s no more tears and sadness, There’s just eternal love. The day I had to leave you, When my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me, And said “I welcome you”. Please do not be unhappy, Just because I’m out of sight, Remember that I’m with you, Every morning, noon and night. And when you feel that gentle breeze, Or the wind upon your face, That’s me giving you a great big hug, Or just a soft embrace. And when it’s time for you to go, From that body to be free, Remember you’re not going, You are coming here to me. P.S. God sends His love.

  • Togetherness

    Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me as you used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that is ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you for an interval somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be at is was before – only better, infinitely happier and forever – we will all be one together with Christ.

    We lost a father with a heart of gold, How much we miss him can never be told, He shared our troubles and helped us along, If we follow his footsteps we can never go wrong. We miss you from your fireside chair, Your loving smile and gentle air, Your vacant place no one can fill, We miss you father and always will. Each time we look at your picture, You seem to smile and say, Don’t be sad but courage take, And love each other for my sake.
