MEMORIAL VERSES
The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.
To the Child in 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 now and listen to
you giggle.
I will always be your mother, he'll always be
your dad,
you will always be our child, the child that we
had.
But now your gone...but yet your here,
we'll sense you everywhere,
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 we'll
have forever.
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard His call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
O yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of
tomorrow
My life's been full, I 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 peace to thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
This time tomorrow night you'll be
A thousand miles away from me
Though you will be far away
I'll be dreaming of the day
When you come back home to me
Flying back across the sea
Flying home, no more to part
Flying back to me, sweetheart
Though I know you have to go
I am gonna miss you so
So think of me while we're apart
And I will keep you in my heart
I'll be dreaming of the day
Dreaming of the day you'll say
I'm flying back, no more to part
Flying back to you, sweetheart
The time has come to say goodbye
So leave me now for you must fly
I'll keep dreamin' of the day
Dreamin' of the day you'll say
I'm flying back, no more to part
I'm flying back to you, sweetheart
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart,
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets
dark,
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul,
I wrap it close around me when the nights get
cold,
If you ask me how I'm doing I'd say just fine,
But the truth is, if you could read my mind,
Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you,
After all this time, you're still with me it's
true,
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside,
Not a day goes by
I lit a
candle tonight, in honor of you
Remembering your life, and all the times we'd
been through.
Such a small little light the candle made
Until I realized how much in darkness it lit the
way.
All the tears I've cried in all my grief and
pain
What a garden they grew, watered with human
rain.
I sometimes can't see beyond the moment, in
hopeless despair.
But then your memory sustains me, in heartaches
repair.
I can wait for the tomorrow, when my sorrows
ease
Until then I'll light this candle, and let my
memories run free.
She wasn't a
heroknown by the world
But a hero she was to his little girl
I knew her voice before I could speak
And loved it when she would sing me to sleep.
She taught us life's lessons of right from wrong
And instilled in us values that we might be
strong.
And so through the years like a hero she stood
Working to give all that she could.
Her presence was important and we loved to
seeher smile
For no one in the world could emulate his/her
style.
And so dear Mum my best memory to recall
Is the gift of your presence
The greatest gift of all.
Message from Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
And all of your cares
I'll even remind you
To please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
You still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
Above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
To stay in his grace
I came here before you
To help set your place
You don't have to be
Perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
If you continue to climb
To my family and friends
Please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
In a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
In the heaven’s above
Please take care of each other
We send you our love
A Visitor From Heaven
A visitor from heaven If only for awhile
A gift of love to be returned we think of you
and smile
A visitor from heaven accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love and of a better place
With aching hearts and empty arms we send you
with a name
It hurts so much to let you go but we're so glad
you came
We're so glad you came a visitor from heaven
If only for a day we thank Him for the time He
gave
And now it's time to say we trust you to the
Fathers love
And to His tender care held in the everlasting
arms
And we're so glad you're there we're so glad
you're there
With breaking hearts and open hands we send you
with a name
It hurts so much to let you go but we're so glad
you came
We're so glad you came
The Cord
We are connected, my child and I,
By an invisible cord not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord that connected us 'till
birth,
This cord can't be seen by anyone on earth.
This cord does its work, right from the start,
It bonds us together, attached at the heart.
I know that its there though no one can see,
The invisible cord, from my child to me.
The strength of this cord, it's hard to
describe.
It can't be destroyed, it can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord, man could create,
It withstands the tests, can hold any weight.
And though you are gone, not here with me,
The cord is still there, but no one can see.
It pulls at my heart, I am bruised....I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline, as never before.
I am thankful that God connected this way,
A mother and a child, death can't take it away!
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 is over,
Every restless yearning past.
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Dear ones, do not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still.
Try to look beyond earth's shadow,
Pray to trust our father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand.
When the work is all completed,
He will gently call you home.
Oh, the rapture of that meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come!
If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say ‘goodbye’
You were gone before I knew it
and only God knows why
My heart still ache in sadness
and secret tears will flow
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know
But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today -
A hallowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay
Remembrance
You can shed tears that she is gone,
Or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes
And pray that she'll come back,
Or you can open your eyes
And see all she has left.
Your heart can be empty
Because you can't see her
Or you can be full of
The love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow
And live yesterday, or you
Can be happy for tomorrow
because of yesterday.
You can remember her/him
And only that she's gone,
Or you can cherish
Her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what she'd want:
Smile, Open Your Eyes,
Love and Go on.
"If I could give you one gift, my
friend, I'd give you the gift to see yourself as
others see you, so you could really see how
special you
are."
