A page in the book of memory,
Silently turns today.
We remember you in silence,
And make no outward show.

No one will ever know.

So peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back,
To suffer that again.

His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.

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's glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am the diamond's glints on snow.

I’d walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

Because we thought the world of you.

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 we 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,
And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds,
Miss me but let me go.

Our hearts still ache with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.

to accept the things
I cannot change,
courage to change the
things I can,
and the wisdom to
know the difference.

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.

We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together;
The family chain is broken now
But memories last forever.
When we were all together;
The family chain is broken now
But memories last forever.
Your life was love and labour,
Your love for your family true,
You did your best for all of us
We will always remember you.

You did your best for all of us

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. 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."
