Poem # 1
We thought of you with
love today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And everyday before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have is memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our heart

Poem # 2
Don't think of her as
gone away -
her journey has just begun.
Life holds many facets;
the Earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost -
And she was loved so much.

Poem # 3
If tears could build a
stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one could ever know
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you'll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay

Poem # 4
Don't grieve for me for
now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid, you see
I took his hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all
I could not stay another day
to laugh, to love, to work, to play
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found peace at the close of the day
If my parting has left a void
then fill it with remembered joys
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
oh yes, these things I too will miss
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you all the sunshine of tomorrow
My life's been full; I savored much
Good friends, good times... a loved ones touch
Perhaps my time seemed much too brief
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free
