    • V01: The Rose Beyond The Wall


      A rose once grew,
      where all could see,
      sheltered beside a garden wall,
      and, as the days passed
      swiftly by,
      it spread its branches,
      straight and tall….

      One day, a beam of light
      shone through a crevice
      that had opened wide –
      The rose bent gently
      toward its warmth
      then passed beyond
      to the other side….

      Now, you who deeply
      feel its loss,
      be comforted –
      the rose blooms there –
      its beauty even greater now,
      nurtured by God’s
      own loving care.

    • V02: Softly In The Morning


      Softly in the morning,
      You heard a gentle call,
      You took the hand God offered you,
      And quietly left us all.

      The day you left us mother,
      Our hearts just broke in two,
      The smallest part is still with us,
      And the biggest part with you.

      For the rest of our lives
      we will miss you mother,
      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.

      You were always there
      when we needed you
      No task too great or small,
      With loving heart and willing hands,
      For us you did it all.

      Look around Your garden Lord,
      And when she turns and smiles,
      Put Your arms around her,
      And hold her for a while.

    • V03: Togetherness


      Death is nothing at all – I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name,
      speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
      Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before-only better, infinitely happier and forever-we will all be one together with Christ.

      Most glorious Martin De Porres whose burning charity embraced not only thy needy
      brethren, but also the very animals of the field, splendid example of charity, we hail thee
      and invoke thee! From that high throne which thou dost occupy, deign to listen to the
      supplications of thy needy brethren that, by imitating thy virtues, we may live contented in
      that state in which God has placed us and carrying with strength and courage our cross,
      we may follow in the footsteps of Our Blessed Redeemer and His most afflicted Mother, that
      at last we may reach the Kingdom of Heaven through the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    • V06: His/Her 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 or years.
      Think how we 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.

      One fervent Hail Mary with
      love and thought said,
      Is better than volumes of
      prayers poorly read.
      If time and one’s duties
      prevent a long prayer,
      Just say one Hail Mary with
      fervour and care.
      The “Golden Hail Mary” which
      from the heart springs,
      The greatest of blessings
      from Mary it brings.
      And we never will know ‘til
      before Mary’s throne,
      How that daily Hail Mary
      brought us to her home.

      What he suffered he told but a few,
      He did not deserve what he went through,
      Tired and weary he made no fuss,
      But tried so hard to stay with us.

      Our lips cannot speak how we loved him,
      Our hearts cannot tell what we say,
      But God only knows how we miss him,
      In our home that is lonely today.

      Pray for us O dearest father,
      To Jesus Christ, Our King,
      That He may bless our lonely home
      Where thou once dwelt therein,

      And pray that God may give us strength,
      To bear our heavy cross;
      For no one knows but only He,
      The treasure we have lost.

      Life is but a stopping place,
      A pause in what’s to be,
      A resting place along the road,
      To sweet eternity.

      We all have different journeys,
      Different paths along the way,
      We all were meant to
      learn some things,
      But never meant to stay…

      Our destination is a place,
      Far greater than we know,
      For some the journey’s quicker,
      For some the journey’s slow.

      We’ll claim a great reward,
      And find an everlasting peace,
      Together with the Lord.

      At night when all is silent,

      come running to my side.

      His little hands caress me,
      so tenderly and sweet,
      I’ll breathe a prayer
      and close my eyes,
      and embrace him in my sleep.

    • V25: A Letter From Heaven


      I’m writing this from Heaven
      Where I dwell with God above
      Where there’s no more
      tears and sadness
      There’s just eternal love.

      When you are walking
      down the street
      And you’ve got me on your mind
      I’m walking in your footsteps
      Only half a step behind.

      And when you feel
      that gentle breeze
      Or the wind upon your face
      That’s me giving you
      A great big hug
      Or just a soft embrace.

      And when it’s time for you to go
      From that body to be free
      Remember you’re not going
      You are coming here to me.

    • V26: When I Leave


      I am about to leave; my last breath does not say “goodbye” for my love for you is truly timeless. I leave myself not to the undertaker and the grave, but to your memory with love. I leave my thoughts, my laughter, my dreams to you whom I have treasured. I give you what no thief can steal, the memories of our times together; the tender, love-filled moments, the successes we have shared, the hard times that brought us closer together and the roads we have walked side by side. I also leave you a solemn promise that after I am home in the bosom of God, I will still be present in the communion of Saints, whenever and wherever you are in need, call me; I will come to you, with my arms full of wisdom and light to open up your blocked paths, to untangle your knots and to be your avenue to God. And all I take with me as I leave is your love and the millions of memories of all that we have shared. So fear not nor grieve at my departure, you whom I have loved so much, for my roots and yours are forever intertwined.

    • V27: 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.
      Remember me when no more day by day
      You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
      Only remember me; you understand
      It will be late to counsel then or pray.
      Yet if you should forget me for a while
      And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
      For if the darkness and corruption leave
      A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
      Better by far you should forget and smile
      Than that you should remember and be sad.

      So if you need me, call and I will come.

    • V36: 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 precious, 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”.

      We seem to give her back to you, O God who first gave her to us. Yet, as you did not lose her in the giving, so we do not lose her in the return to You. O Lover of men, You do not give as the world gives. What You give You do not take away, for what is Yours is ours also, if we are Yours. And life is eternal and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon, and an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
      Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we may see further; cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly. Draw us closer to You that we may know ourselves to be nearer to our loved ones who are with You. And while You prepare a place for us, prepare us also for that happy place, that where You are we may be also forever. Amen.

      spreads her white sails to
      the morning breeze,
      and starts out for the blue ocean.
      She is an object of

      And I stand and watch her
      until at length she is only
      a ribbon of white cloud
      just above where the sea and sky
      mingle with each other.
      Then someone at my side says:
      “There! She’s gone!”

      Gone where?
      From my sight-that is all.
      She is just as large in
      mast and hull and spar
      as she was when she left my side,
      and just as able to bear
      her load of living
      freight to the place of destination.
      Her diminished size
      is in me, not in her,
      and just at the moment when
      someone at my side says:
      “There, she’s gone!”

      Too bitter to forget,
      Those who loved you dearly,
      Are the ones who can’t forget.

      We often sit and think of you,
      And think of how you died;
      To think you could not say goodbye
      Before you closed your eyes.

      Your life was one of kindly deeds,
      A helping hand for others needs,
      Sincere and true in heart and mind,
      Beautiful memories left behind.

      The blow was hard, the shock severe,
      To part with one we loved so dear;
      Our loss is great, we’ll not complain
      But trust in God to meet again.

      Two tired eyes are sleeping,
      Two willing hands are still,
      The one who worked so hard for us,
      Is resting at God’s will.

      Our family chain is broken,
      Nothing seems the same,
      But as God calls us one by one
      The links shall join again.

      There is a home that lies beyond
      And past it’s golden door,
      Awaits the one who’s now away,
      Not lost-just gone before,
      And in that home that lies beyond,
      The Master will prepare
      A place for you, and when He calls
      You’ll meet your loved one there.

      They say there is a reason,
      They say that time will heal,
      But neither time or reason,
      Will change the way we feel.
      No one knows the heartache,
      That lies beyond the 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,
      And so hard to be without.

      There is no night without a dawning,
      No winter without a spring,
      And beyond death’s dark horizon
      Our hearts once more will sing.
      For those who leave us for a while
      have only gone away,
      Out of a restless careworn world
      into a “brighter day”.

      We sat beside your bedside,
      Our hearts were crushed and sore;
      We did our duty to the end,
      ‘Til we could do no more.

      In tears we watched you sinking,
      We watched you fade away,
      And though our hearts were breaking
      We knew you could not stay.

      You left behind some aching hearts,
      That loved you most sincere.
      We never shall and never will
      Forget you, Mother dear.

      For many years the family chain
      Was closely linked together,
      But oh! That chain is broken now,
      The main link gone forever.

      The sunshine of our happy home,

      when leaving home,
      He would never more return,
      That he in death so
      soon would sleep,
      And leave us here alone.

      A sudden call from God on high,
      You had no chance to say goodbye,
      Without farewell you fell asleep,
      But memories of you I’ll always keep;
      And those who loved you dearly,
      Are the ones who won’t forget.

      No farewells were spoken,
      We did not say goodbye,
      You were gone before we knew it,
      And only God knows why;
      But we always will remember,
      Our whole life through,
      The last words we had with you.

      We never fail to pray for you,
      We never cease to care,
      We wish we could
      go home again,
      And find you waiting there.
      To the Throne of Christ
      he will guide us,

      Lord, make me an instrument

      Where there is hatred,
      let me sow love.
      Where there is injury, pardon,
      Where there is doubt, faith,

      Where there is darkness, light,
      and where there is sadness, joy.

      as to console;
      To be understood,
      as to understand;

      A loving father most sincere
      Loved by all he knew,
      He loved us all so very dear,
      And we all loved him too.
      But God in His mercy will give us hope,
      And help us bear the strain,
      Of the one we cherished, loved and lost,
      To meet in Heaven again.

      He bade no-one a last farewell,
      He raised his hand to none;
      His spirit flew before we knew,
      That he from us had gone.

      You can only have one father,
      Patient, kind and true.
      No other friend in all the world,
      Will be the same to you.
      When other friends forsake you,
      To father you will return,
      For all his loving kindness,
      He asks nothing in return.

      As we look upon his picture,
      Sweet memories we recall,
      Of a face so full of sunshine,
      And a smile for one and all.
      Sweet Jesus take this message,
      To our dear father up above,
      Tell him how much we miss him,
      And give him all our love.

      Best, though my plans be all upset;
      Best, though the way be rough;
      Best, though my earthly store be scant;
      In Thee I have enough.

      Best, though my health and strength be gone,
      Though weary days be mine,
      Shut out from much that others have,
      Not my will, Lord but Thine!

      And e’en though disappointments come,
      They too are best for me,
      To wean me from this changing world,
      And lead me near Thee.

      Oh! for the peace of a perfect trust,
      That looks away from all;
      That sees Thy hand in everything,
      In great events and small.

      That hears Thy voice, a Father’s voice,
      Directing for the best;
      Oh! for the peace of a perfect trust,
      A heart with Thee at rest.

      “I’ll lend you for a little while, a child of mine, God said,
      “For you to love the while she lives, and mourn
      for when she’s dead.
      It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three.
      But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?
      She’ll bring her charms to gladden you and
      should her stay be brief,
      You’ll always have her memories
      as a solace for your grief.
      I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return
      But there are lessons taught below I want
      this child to learn.
      I’ve looked this whole world over in my search
      for teachers true,
      And from the folks that crowd life’s lane,
      I have chosen you.”
      “Now will you give her all your love nor think
      the labour vain,
      Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child
      back again?”
      I fancied that I heard her say, “dear Lord Thy Will be done.
      For all the joys Thy child will bring, the risk of
      grief we’ll run.
      We’ll shelter her with tenderness, we’ll love her
      while we may,
      And for the happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay.
      But should the Angels come for her
      much sooner than we’ve planned,
      We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
      and try to understand.”

      Lord that I may seek to console

    • V90: 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.

      There’s not a day that passes
      That I don’t sit and cry,
      And look to Heaven for a reason
      But still I don’t know why.

      Couldn’t he have waited
      Another year or two,
      Until you were a little older
      And I’d had more time with you.

      Forgive me, Lord, I then say,
      All these thoughts are wrong,
      There had to be a reason,
      And I know I must be strong.

      You’re in the arms of Jesus now

      But I wish with all my heart,
      That those arms could be mine.

      You can close your eyes

      of the love you shared.
      You can turn your back

      or you can be happy for

      You can remember her

      If the sun should rise and find your eyes

      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 that 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’d have to leave behind
      All those I dearly love.
      So when tomorrow starts without me,
      Don’t think we’re far apart,

      Feel no guilt in laughter,
      She knows how much you care.
      Feel no sorrow in a smile
      That she’s not here to share.

      You cannot grieve forever,
      She would not want you to.
      She’d hope that you would carry on
      The way you always do.

      So talk about the good times
      And the ways you showed you cared.
      The days you spent together,
      All the happiness you shared.

      Let the memories surround you,
      A word someone may say
      Will suddenly recapture
      A time, an hour, a day.

      That brings her back as clearly
      As though she were still here,
      And fills you with the feelings
      That she is always near.

      For if you keep those memories
      You will never be apart
      And she will live forever
      Locked safe within your heart.

      I’m with you every night.

      I’m with you when the times are good,

      And if a tear should start to fall,
      I’ll still be there for you.

      That we no longer are apart
      I’ll smile and hold you close to me,
      Forever in my heart.

    • V01: The Rose Beyond The Wall


      A rose once grew,
      where all could see,
      sheltered beside a garden wall,
      and, as the days passed
      swiftly by,
      it spread its branches,
      straight and tall….

      One day, a beam of light
      shone through a crevice
      that had opened wide –
      The rose bent gently
      toward its warmth
      then passed beyond
      to the other side….

      Now, you who deeply
      feel its loss,
      be comforted –
      the rose blooms there –
      its beauty even greater now,
      nurtured by God’s
      own loving care.

      You took the hand God offered you,
      And quietly left us all.

      The day you left us mother,
      Our hearts just broke in two,
      The smallest part is still with us,
      And the biggest part with you.

      For the rest of our lives
      we will miss you mother,
      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.

      You were always there
      when we needed you
      No task too great or small,
      With loving heart and willing hands,
      For us you did it all.

      Look around Your garden Lord,
      And when she turns and smiles,
      Put Your arms around her,
      And hold her for a while.

      Death is nothing at all – I have only slipped away into the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name,
      speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
      Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before-only better, infinitely happier and forever-we will all be one together with Christ.

      They are not gone
      those loved ones
      whom we mourn;
      we must not think of them
      as far away,
      Unto a fuller life they
      have been born,
      laying aside the
      vesture of this clay.
      Yet near us still
      they watch and
      love and know;
      we are the blind ones,
      who no longer see,
      beloved forms that softly
      come and go,
      waiting reunion in Eternity.

      Hail, Glorious Saint Patrick!
      We honour thy name,
      Though Erin may claim thee,
      the world knows thy fame.
      The faith of our fathers
      is our treasure too,
      How holy the thought, that they
      learned it from you.
      Through crosses and trials
      its fires burn bright,
      They show us the way, and the
      truth, and the light.
      Great Saint! intercede that we
      always may be
      Devoted and loyal, true
      children of thee.
      Our love and devotion be
      ever like thine,
      Our thought be of Jesus, our
      heart be His shrine.
      And when to the end of life’s path
      We have trod,
      Be near us great Bishop,
      Annointed of God.

      I’m writing this from Heaven
      Where I dwell with God above
      Where there’s no more
      tears and sadness
      There’s just eternal love.

      When you are walking
      down the street
      And you’ve got me on your mind
      I’m walking in your footsteps
      Only half a step behind.

      And when you feel
      that gentle breeze
      Or the wind upon your face
      That’s me giving you
      A great big hug
      Or just a soft embrace.

      And when it’s time for you to go
      From that body to be free
      Remember you’re not going
      You are coming here to me.

    • V26: When I Leave


      I am about to leave; my last breath does not say “goodbye” for my love for you is truly timeless. I leave myself not to the undertaker and the grave, but to your memory with love. I leave my thoughts, my laughter, my dreams to you whom I have treasured. I give you what no thief can steal, the memories of our times together; the tender, love-filled moments, the successes we have shared, the hard times that brought us closer together and the roads we have walked side by side. I also leave you a solemn promise that after I am home in the bosom of God, I will still be present in the communion of Saints, whenever and wherever you are in need, call me; I will come to you, with my arms full of wisdom and light to open up your blocked paths, to untangle your knots and to be your avenue to God. And all I take with me as I leave is your love and the millions of memories of all that we have shared. So fear not nor grieve at my departure, you whom I have loved so much, for my roots and yours are forever intertwined.

      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.
      Remember me when no more day by day
      You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
      Only remember me; you understand
      It will be late to counsel then or pray.
      Yet if you should forget me for a while
      And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
      For if the darkness and corruption leave
      A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
      Better by far you should forget and smile
      Than that you should remember and be sad.

    • V36: 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 precious, 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”.

      We seem to give her back to you, O God who first gave her to us. Yet, as you did not lose her in the giving, so we do not lose her in the return to You. O Lover of men, You do not give as the world gives. What You give You do not take away, for what is Yours is ours also, if we are Yours. And life is eternal and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon, and an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
      Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we may see further; cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly. Draw us closer to You that we may know ourselves to be nearer to our loved ones who are with You. And while You prepare a place for us, prepare us also for that happy place, that where You are we may be also forever. Amen.

      spreads her white sails to
      the morning breeze,
      and starts out for the blue ocean.
      She is an object of

      And I stand and watch her
      until at length she is only
      a ribbon of white cloud
      just above where the sea and sky
      mingle with each other.
      Then someone at my side says:
      “There! She’s gone!”

      Gone where?
      From my sight-that is all.
      She is just as large in
      mast and hull and spar
      as she was when she left my side,
      and just as able to bear
      her load of living
      freight to the place of destination.
      Her diminished size
      is in me, not in her,
      and just at the moment when
      someone at my side says:
      “There, she’s gone!”

      It was a sudden parting,
      Too bitter to forget,
      Those who loved you dearly,
      Are the ones who can’t forget.

      We often sit and think of you,
      And think of how you died;
      To think you could not say goodbye
      Before you closed your eyes.

      Your life was one of kindly deeds,
      A helping hand for others needs,
      Sincere and true in heart and mind,
      Beautiful memories left behind.

      The blow was hard, the shock severe,
      To part with one we loved so dear;
      Our loss is great, we’ll not complain
      But trust in God to meet again.

      Two tired eyes are sleeping,
      Two willing hands are still,
      The one who worked so hard for us,
      Is resting at God’s will.

      Our family chain is broken,
      Nothing seems the same,
      But as God calls us one by one
      The links shall join again.

      A place for you, and when He calls
      You’ll meet your loved one there.

      You’re so wonderful to think of,
      And so hard to be without.

      There is no night without a dawning,
      No winter without a spring,
      And beyond death’s dark horizon

      Of the one we cherished, loved and lost,
      To meet in Heaven again.

      He bade no-one a last farewell,

      Patient, kind and true.
      No other friend in all the world,
      Will be the same to you.
      When other friends forsake you,

      Of a face so full of sunshine,

      It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three.
      But will you, till I call her back, take care of her for me?
      She’ll bring her charms to gladden you and
      should her stay be brief,
      You’ll always have her memories
      as a solace for your grief.
      I cannot promise she will stay, since all from earth return
      But there are lessons taught below I want
      this child to learn.
      I’ve looked this whole world over in my search
      for teachers true,
      And from the folks that crowd life’s lane,
      I have chosen you.”
      “Now will you give her all your love nor think
      the labour vain,
      Nor hate me when I come to take this lent child
      back again?”
      I fancied that I heard her say, “dear Lord Thy Will be done.
      For all the joys Thy child will bring, the risk of
      grief we’ll run.
      We’ll shelter her with tenderness, we’ll love her

      And for the happiness we’ve known forever grateful stay.

      Straight to this world, few pass it by,
      And no one here can really die.
      Although this child, you cannot see,
      I know you’d be so proud of me.

      I look forward to when I’ll see you,
      So until it’s your time to come,
      Enjoy your life, and please don’t cry,
      I just came to say a last goodbye.

    • V89: GOD’S GARDEN


      God looked around His garden
      And found an empty place.
      He then looked down
      upon the earth,
      And saw your tired face.

      He put His arms around you
      And lifted you to rest,
      God’s garden must be beautiful
      He always takes the best.

      He knew that you were suffering.
      He knew you were in pain.
      He knew that you would never
      Get well on earth again.

      He saw the road was getting rough,
      And the hills were hard to climb.
      So He closed your weary eyelids,
      And whispered “Peace be Thine”.

      It broke our hearts to lose you
      But you didn’t go alone
      For part of us went with you
      The day God called you home.

    • V90: 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.

    • V91: I expect to pass through…


      I expect to pass through
      this world but once.
      Any good therefore
      that I can do
      or any kindness
      that I can show
      to any fellow creature,
      let me do it now,
      for I shall not pass
      this way again.

    • V92: Irish Blessing


      May the road rise to meet you,
      may the wind be always at your back.
      May the sun shine upon your face,
      the rains fall soft upon your fields,
      and until we meet again,
      may God hold you
      in the palm of His hand.

    • V93: My Precious Child


      There’s not a day that passes
      That I don’t sit and cry,
      And look to Heaven for a reason
      But still I don’t know why.

      Couldn’t he have waited
      Another year or two,
      Until you were a little older
      And I’d had more time with you.

      Forgive me, Lord, I then say,
      All these thoughts are wrong,
      There had to be a reason,
      And I know I must be strong.

      You’re in the arms of Jesus now
      And I know that you’ll be fine,
      But I wish with all my heart,
      That those arms could be mine.

    • V94: You can shed tears…


      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’s 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
      and only that she is 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.

    • V95: It’s not the tears that…


      It’s not the tears that
      are shed at the time
      That tell of the hearts
      that are broken;
      But the silent tears
      in the after years,
      When our loved one’s
      name is spoken.

      Hail, Holy Queen,
      Mother of Mercy,
      our Life, our Sweetness,
      and our Hope.
      To Thee do we cry,
      poor banished children of Eve.
      To Thee do we send up
      our sighs mourning
      and weeping in this
      valley of tears.
      Turn then, most
      gracious Advocate,
      Thine Eyes of Mercy
      toward us, and after this
      our exile show us the Blessed
      Fruit of thy Womb, Jesus.
      O clement, O loving,
      O sweet Virgin Mary.
      Pray for us O Holy Mother of God
      That we may be made worthy
      of the promises of Christ.

      Some people just can’t help

      making a difference in our lives.

      By simply being who they are,

      they make the world

      a little brighter,

      a little warmer,

      a little gentler,

      and when they’re gone

      we realise how lucky we are

      to have known them.

    • V98: When Tomorrow Starts Without Me


      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 for 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 that 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’d have to leave behind
      All those I dearly love.
      So 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.

    • V99: Feel no guilt in laughter…


      Feel no guilt in laughter,
      She knows how much you care.
      Feel no sorrow in a smile
      That she’s not here to share.

      You cannot grieve forever,
      She would not want you to.
      She’d hope that you would carry on
      The way you always do.

      So talk about the good times
      And the ways you showed you cared.
      The days you spent together,
      All the happiness you shared.

      Let the memories surround you,
      A word someone may say
      Will suddenly recapture
      A time, an hour, a day.

      That brings her back as clearly
      As though she were still here,
      And fills you with the feelings
      That she is always near.

      For if you keep those memories
      You will never be apart
      And she will live forever
      Locked safe within your heart.

    • V100: 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.

      I’m with you when you greet each day
      And while the sun shines bright
      I’m there to share the sunsets, too,
      I’m with you every night.

      I’m with you when the times are good,
      To share a laugh or two,
      And if a tear should start to fall,
      I’ll still be there for you.

      And when that day arrives
      That we no longer are apart
      I’ll smile and hold you close to me,
      Forever in my heart.
