The
Broken Chain
We
little knew that morning
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 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.

Miss
Me, But 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?
Miss me a little—but not too long,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that was once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For
this is a journey we all must take,
and each must go alone.
It’s all a 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.
Bear your sorrow in good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.

Tears
of Remembering
There
will come a day
when your tears of sorrow
will softly flow into tears of remembrance...
and your heart will begin to heal
itself...
and grieving will be interrupted by
episodes of joy...
and you will hear the whisper of hope.
There will come a day
when you will welcome the tears of
remembrance...
as a sunshower of the soul...
a turning of the tide...
a promise of peace.
There will come a day when you will...
risk loving...
go on believing...
and treasure the tears of remembering

We
thought of you today
But that is nothing new
We thought of you yesterday
And will tomorrow, too
We
think of you in silence
And make no outward show
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know
Remembering
you is easy
We do it every day
It's the heartache of losing you
That will never go away

One must go and one be left the lonely
road to tread
There comes a day when all must face
the path that lies ahead.
Knowing that the best is over with
a loved one gone,
There sometimes hardly seems to be
a point in going on.
But
time is kind, the passing days their
balm of healing bring
And like a bird at winter's end,
The heart begins to sing.
We
come at last to realise death breaks
the earthly tie
But love survives when grief has passed,
For love can never die.

Weep not for me though I am gone
into that gentle night;
Grieve if you will, but not for long
upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest.
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed
for all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not
the fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts.
In memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath,
remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death
but celebrate my life.
