Miss Me, But Let Me Go – Verse 042

Now I have come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me.
I want no tears 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 God’s own 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 sorrows
In doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.

We wander sad and lonely – Verse 041

We wander sad and lonely,
To a grave not far away,
Where we laid our loving mother,
Whom we still miss today.
 
Jesus saw her getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
With loving arms around her,
He whispered “Come with me”.
 
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.
 
When the altar bells are ringing,
And all bend down in prayer,
We have visions of you mother,
With all your Family there.
 
So rest in peace dear mother,
And thanks for all you’ve done,
We trust that God has given you,
The crown you’ve truly won.

He was my North – Verse 040

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong
 
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.

There is always a face before us – Verse 039

There is always a face before us,
A voice we would love to hear,
A smile we will always remember,
Of a daughter we loved so dear.
 
To us she was someone special,
Someone set apart,
And her memory will live forever,
Engraved within our hearts.

God called your name so softly – Verse 038

God called your name so softly,
That only you could hear,
And no-one heard the footsteps,
Of the angels drawing near.
 
So put your arms around her Lord,
And keep her forever safe,
For she was someone special
And can never be replaced.

Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes – Verse 037

Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

Oh ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfortess of the Afflicted, You know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Look upon me with mercy. When You appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, You made it a privileged sanctuary where You dispense Your favors, and where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporeal. I come, therefore, with unbounded confidence to implore Your maternal intercession. My loving Mother, obtain my request. I will try to imitate Your virtues so that I may one day share Your company and bless You in eternity. Amen.

You cared for us – Verse 036

You cared for us when we were small,
Watched over us as we grew tall,

Thank you Daddy for those precious years.

Your face is always before me – Verse 035

Your face is always before me,
Your voice I will never forget,
Your smile will linger forever,
In my memories I see you yet.
 
Your voice keeps whispering gently,
“Dear one be brave and true,
At the end of life there’s sunshine,
I’ll be watching and waiting for you”.

A silent thought – Verse 034

A silent thought, a silent tear,
Always wishing you were here,
Life goes on, we know that’s true,
But it’s not been the same,
Since losing you.

Deep in our hearts your memory is kept – Verse 033

Deep in our hearts your memory is kept,
To love, to cherish and never forget,
In heaven you rest, no worries, no pain,
In God’s own time, we’ll meet again.

Along the road of suffering – Verse 032

Along the road of suffering,
You found a little lane,
That took you straight to heaven,
And ended all your pain.

A gift beyond compare,
You only know the meaning,
When she is no longer there.
