An Angel
An angel lived among us, A gift from God above. She showered us with kindness And shared with us her love. She cherished every moment With the man who was her life; Walking hand in hand together, Facing life with all its strife.
She loved her children dearly, Each one a different way, Nestled close within her heart. Though, now, she’s far away. She’s gone to live with Jesus. But, she’s here with us, today, Smiling down on every one of us, And telling us she’s O.K.
AfterGlow
I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when my life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when my life is done. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there
I am a thousand winds that blow,
The diamond glints on snow,
The sunlight that caresses your face,
The gentle rain giving life.
You cannot grieve forever,
I do not want you to.
I want you to carry on,
the way you always do.
Remember the days we spent together,
The happiness we shared.
I’d like my memory to leave an after glow
of smiles and knowing grins.
For all the mischief we created together,
beautiful memories for all.
We’ll never really be apart,
Because I know you keep me in your heart.
A Silent Tear
Just close your eyes and you will see,
all the memories that you have of me.
Just sit and relax and you will find,
I’m really still there inside your mind.
Don’t cry for me now I’m gone,
for I am in the land of song.
There is no pain, there is no fear,
So dry away that silent tear.
Don’t think of me in the dark and cold,
For here I am, no longer old.
I’m in that place that’s filled with love,
known to you all as “Up Above”.
Look for me in Rainbows
Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.
It won't be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Just wish me to be near you,
And I'll be there with you.
A life well lived
A life well lived is a precious gift,
of hope and strength and grace,
from someone who has made our world
a brighter better place.
It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad
with smiles and sometimes tears,
with friendships formed and good times shared,
and laughter through the years
A life well lived is a legacy,
of joy, pride and pleasure,
a living, lasting memory
our grateful hearts will treasure
Memories Live Forever
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time or reason,
Will change the way we feel.
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
but so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.
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.
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 beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot 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.
