A Thousand Winds
Do not stand by my grave and weep,
for I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond’s glint on snow.
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn’s rain.
When you awaken
in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circle 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.
Always in Your Heart
Hush now, please don’t cry
There comes a time when we all die
Just take heed now that I’m at peace
And from my pain I have release.
I will always be watching over you
Our love will always be held true
Don’t you weep now, don’t you mourn
For my heart will then be torn.
Just remember the good times we shared
Knowing that we always cared
I’ve not gone away, we’ll never part
As I will always be in your heart.
Beyond the Sunset
Should you go first and I remain,
to walk the road alone,
I’ll live in memory’s garden, dear
With happy days we’ve known.
In spring I’ll wait for roses red,
When faded, the lilacs blue.
In early fall when brown leaves fall,
I’ll catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain,
For battles to be fought,
Each thing you’ve touched
along the way
will be a hallowed spot.
I’ll hear your voice
I’ll see your smile,
Tho blindly I may grope.
The memory of your helping hand
will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain,
One thing, you’ll have to do,
Walk slowly down that long long path
for soon, I’ll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
So I may do the same.
For someday down that lonely road,
You’ll hear me call your name.
Footprints
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking
along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes
from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets
of footprints in the sand,
one belonging to him,
and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life
flashed before him,
he looked back
at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times
along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened
at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and
he questioned the Lord about it,
“Lord, you said that once
I decided to follow you,
you’d walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed
that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only
one set of footprints.
I don’t understand why
when I needed you most,
you would leave me.”
The Lord replied,
“My son. My precious child,
I love you and
I would never leave you.
During your times
of trial and suffering,
when you see only
one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you.”
God's Child
Mommy,
Please don’t be so sad,
I miss you so much too.
It’s beautiful here where I am
But I worry a lot about you.
I sleep with the angels
watching over me
There’s only love up here.
I’m never lonely or afraid,
‘Cause God’s so very near.
I walk with Jesus every day
He’s very kind and sweet.
Don’t worry Mommy:
He holds my hand
When we cross a golden street.
I never cry or hurt myself
I see my loved ones everyday.
I play and laugh and sing a lot
And I hear you when you pray.
Please Mommy,
don’t be mad at God
You see, he loves me too.
And even though
you’re not here with me,
I’m really still with you.
He Only Takes the Best
God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered “Come to me”.
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts
to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
By Therese Pearman
I Only Wanted You
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I’d walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
I'm Free
Don’t grieve for me,
for now I’m free
A friendship shared,
a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things
I too will miss.
Be not burdened
with times of sorrow,
I wish you
sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full,
I’ve savored much,
Good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time
seemed all too brief;
Don’t lengthen it now
with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts
and share with me,
God wanted me now;
He set me free.
In Our Hearts
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we’ll never part
God has you in his keeping
We have you in our hearts.
Let Me Go
Let Me Go
We’ve known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain,
We’ve lived in the sunshine
And walked in the rain.
But now we’re separated
And for a time apart,
But I am not alone
You’re forever in my heart.
Death always seems so sudden,
And it is always sure,
But what is often forgotten
It is not without a cure.
I’m walking now with someone,
And I know He’ll always stay,
I know He’s walking with you too,
Giving comfort everyday.
There may be times you miss me,
I sort of hope you do,
But smile when you think of me,
For I’ll be waiting for you.
Now there are many things
for you to do,
And lots of ways to grow,
So get busy, be happy,
and live your life,
Miss me, but let me go.
By Lisa Taylor
Miss Me, But Let MeGo
When I come to the
end of the road,
and the sun has set for me,
I want no rites
in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little,
but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love
that we once shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey
we must all take,
and each must go alone.
It’s all part of the Master’s plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and
sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in
doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.
My Angel in The Sky
My angel in the sky,
who comes to me
in dreams at night.
You left me without
a single word,
but when I close my eyes,
your voice is heard.
Telling me you’ll be alright,
that you’re not scared,
you’re in the light.
And now whenever
I need you near,
I close my eyes
and you appear.
You’re my angel in the sky,
who comes to me
in dreams at night.
To let me know
that you’re alright,
you are with God,
you are in the light.
by Tanya Kendall
One of the Best
You left us so quietly,
Your thoughts unknown.
You left us memories,
We are proud to own.
So treasured by the Lord,
In your garden of rest.
For on earth you were
One of the best.
Only God Knows Why
We grieve for you in silence
And try so not to show
But what it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
You wished no one a farewell
Or ever said good-bye.
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
A golden heart stopped beating
And you were laid to rest
God broke our hearts
to prove to us
He only takes the best.
by Tracy Hicks
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument
of your peace;
Where there is hatred,
let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, harmony;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not
so much seek to be consoled
as to console;
To be understood as
to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that
we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that
we are born to eternal life.
Safely Home
I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod in the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus’s love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus’s arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth’s shadows,
Pray to trust our Father’s will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus’s land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home,
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God
Was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we can not see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.
Walk in Sunshine
May you always walk in sunshine
And God’s love around you flow,
For the happiness you gave us,
No one will ever know.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried,
If love could have only saved you,
You never would have died.
Welcome Home
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourselves to me with tears,
just be happy that we had some years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
how much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
but now it’s time I traveled on alone.
Do grieve a while for me if you must
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part,
so keep our memories within your hearts.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can’t see or touch me I’ll be near,
and if you listen with your heart you will hear,
All of my love around so soft and dear.
When you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say
“Welcome Home”.
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!
When Tomorrow Starts
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and
find your eyes all filled with tears of me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I would have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
As I walked through heaven’s gates,
I felt so much at home.
When tomorrow starts without me
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here, in your heart.
You've Gone Ahead
I always thought that
I would show you the way,
Teach you your colors,
about life, how to pray.
I would lead you along,
hold your hand.
Expound the mysteries
of life and death.
But now, you leave me behind.
Your hand no longer nestles mine.
No need for me to light your way.
You've gone ahead.
Who will wipe your nose now?
I know no need for that
where you are.
Do you need a mother now?
I need to be your mother,
Although you've gone ahead.
Your Gentle Face
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall,
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stilled the heart
That loved us well and true,
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one
Nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more.
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your empty place.
