Poems & Verses

Let Me Go

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?

Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.

Farewell My Friends

Farewell My Friends
It was beautiful
As long as it lasted
The journey of my life.

She Is Gone (He Is Gone)

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived

My Journey’s Just Begun

Don’t think of me as gone away
My journey’s just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is but one

To Those Whom I Love & Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.

A Song of Living

Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.
I have sent up my gladness on wings, to be lost in the blue of the sky.

God Saw You

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, “Come to me”.

A Final Goodbye

Do not weep for me, for I will soon be gone.
My body may die, but my soul will live on.

It’s Okay To Go

You were sick and tired and we all knew
that God would soon come to take you.
You fought so hard, so very long,
but through the pain, you stayed strong.

Remembrance

Let everyone gather
With no heartaches or tears.
Let the bright memories flow
From all the past years.

The Strength Of One Woman

She played a different role in all our
lives, a mother, a sister, and a
grandmother, no matter what the love
we have for her is one, ask anyone

Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep

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.

Gone, But Not Forgotten

Don’t think of her/him as gone away
Her/His journey’s just begun,
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one.

How Did They Live?

Not, how did they die, but how did they live?
Not, what did they gain, but what did they give?

I Am Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

Because I Love You So

Time will not dim the face I love,
The voice I heard each day,
The many things you did for me,
In your own special way.

I’m There Inside Your Heart

Right now I’m in a different place
And though we seem apart
I’m closer than I ever was,
I’m there inside your heart.

Sweetness of Peace

The Comfort and Sweetness of Peace
After the clouds, the sunshine,
after the winter, the spring,
after the shower, the rainbow,

Broken Chain

We little knew that morning
God was to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.

He Only Takes the Best

God saw that he was getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
and whispered, “Come with Me.”

We Remember Him (We Remember Her)

When we are weary and in need of strength,
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember him.
When we have a joy we crave to share

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Our memories build a special bridge

When loved ones have to part
To help us feel were with them still
And soothe a grieving heart
They span the years and warm our lives

There is no night without a dawning

No winter without a spring
And beyond the dark horizon
Our hearts will once more sing ….

You’ve just walked on ahead of me

And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.

At every turning of my life

At every turning of my life
I came across
Good friends,
Friends who stood by me

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart) I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)

A Reflection on an Autumn Day

I took up a handful of grain and let it slip flowing through my fingers, and I said to myself…

Irish Blessing

May the roads rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,

God looked around his garden

God looked around his garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth

We let you go

Into the freedom of wind and sunshine
We let you go
Into the dance of the stars and the planets
We let you go
