MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO!

When i come to the end of the day

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 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 maker's plan.

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart

go to the friends we know

and bury your sorrows

in doing good deeds

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO!

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his 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've found that peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Silent Tear.

Each night we shed a silent tear,
As we speak to you in prayer.
To let you know we love you,
And just how much we care.
Take our million teardrops,
Wrap them up in love,
Then ask the wind to carry them,
To you in heaven above.

 I’ll Live On
Don’t cry for me in sadness, don’t weep for me in sorrow,
For I will live on beside you, as sure as comes tomorrow.
My body has gone but my spirit lives on, as does my love for you,
Just as in life, I’ll watch over you, I always will be true.
My blood lives on in my children, how I’ve watched them grow with pride,
I’ll live on within them, always by their side.
I know my jokes weren’t always funny and jobs weren’t always done,
Just try and remember the good times, the days when we had fun.
Reach out if you need me, for I always will be near,
Just talk to me, as if I am there, I promise I will hear.
For I’ll live on, within your mind, we’ll never be apart,
As long as you keep, my memory, deep within your heart.
So lift up your hearts, don’t be sad, my spirit hasn’t gone,
While you’re still there, so am I, I really will live on. 
 

MEMORIES AND PEACE

Why smile in such sadness,
It’s because of the memories
Of laughter shared in the past.

The humour of life,
The fun and the joy,
The reminiscences certain to last.

Why relief in such sadness?
It’s because there is peace
With no more chance of pain.

No-one can hurt, nor take away,
There will never be fear again.
