Think – Verse 175
Think
Of stepping on the shore
and finding it heaven;
Of taking hold of a hand
and finding it God’s hand;
Of breathing a new air
and finding it celestial air;
Of feeling invigorated
and finding it immortality;
Of passing from storm
and tempest to an unknown calm;
Of waking - and finding you’re Home.
What is this life if full of care – Verse 174
What is this life if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep, or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this, if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
William Henry Davies 1871 - 1940
Our hands reached across the sea – Verse 168
Our hands reached across the sea,
And through the moonlit skies,
We calmed the raging seas at last,
With our gentle sighs.
No more pain or misery ,
Our lives torn apart,
You brought me to your world with you,
To mend my broken heart.
You whispered in my ear to come,
I could not ignore your call,
I gave to you myself that night,
I gave to you my all.
Good bye to friends and Family ,
Do not mourn us now,
For we are free among the stars,
We take our final bow .
As gentle breeze and memory,
We caress all who touched our lives,
With God's prayer, love and tranquillity,
We look down with loving eyes.
Irish Blessing – Verse 165
May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine on your window pane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
Their hearts full of warmth and gladness to cheer you.
A garden of beautiful memories – Verse 131
A garden of beautiful memories, sprayed with a million tears.
The world may never notice – Verse 119
The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world
in some small way
For all eternity.

How often has a flower – Verse 116
How often has a flower,
Or a crystal summer sky,
Brought golden reflections,
Of happy times gone by!
For how often does a sunset – Verse 115
For how often does a sunset,
Bring nostalgic thought to mind,
Of moments that our
loved one shared,
In days now left behind.
Rose Beyond The Wall – Verse 111
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 it's 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.
Look for me in rainbows – Verse 071
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.
Vicki Brown
Remember Me – Verse 067
Don’t remember me with sadness,
Don’t remember me with tears;
Remember all the laughter
We’ve had throughout the years.
Then when the summer sunshine
Awakes the flowers in bloom,
I’ll walk that light from Heaven,
Around the corners of every room.
Do the things we did before,
The same in every way;
Just whisper a little prayer to me,
At the dawn of every day.
Just think of me as present,
Don’t think of me as past;
For my love is a blessing
In death it still can last.
Forget your troubles and your worries,
They are mine for ever more;
I’ll watch and care and love you,
From Heaven’s open door.
And when your road gets rough and rocky,
Or you’re down and need a crutch;
Remember I’m right beside you,
Just an inch too short to touch.
Do not stand at my grave and weep – Verse 054
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 glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the uplifting rush
Of quiet birds’ encircled 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.
