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.
Softly In The Morning

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