POEM 001.	GOD' S GARDEN God looked around his garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road as getting rough and the hills were getting hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered "Peace be thine". 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.
POEM 002.	FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND 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. For 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 son, my 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."
POEM 003.	DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain, I am the shining star at night, When you wake to the morning light... My time has come, I am at rest, I am the sunset in the west, I am the clouds that race above, Where I watch over those I love. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I do not die, So hear these words that here I say, I am the love that guides your way.
POEM 004.	TO THOSE WHO I LOVED I leave myself to your memory, with love I leave my thought, my laughter, my dreams to you whom I have treasured. I give you what no thief can steal, the memories of our times together: the tender moments, the successes we have shared, the hard times that brought us close together and the road we have walked side by side. I also leave you a solemn promise that after I am home in the arms of God, I will still be present, whenever and wherever you call on me. Whenever you are in need, call me; I will come to you, to be your avenue to God. And all I take with me as I leave is your love and the millions of memories of all that we have shared. So I truly enter my new life as a millionaire. Fear not nor grieve at my departure, you whom I have loved so much, for my roots and yours are forever intertwined.
POEM 005.	I'M FREE Don't grieve for me for I am free, I'm following paths God made for me, I took His hand, I heard Him call, Then I turned and bid, farewell to all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to sing, to play, Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found peace at close of day. And if my parting left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy, A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened deep with sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow, My life's been full, I've savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's 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 wants me now, He set me free.
POEM 006.	MISS ME - BUT LET ME GO 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 a little - but let me go. For this is a journey that 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 sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me - but let me go.
POEM 007.	DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL Death is nothing at all I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way Which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes We enjoyed together. Let my name be ever the household word that It always was, let it be spoken without effect, Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight I am waiting for you, for an interval, Somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well.
POEM 008.	YOU NEVER SAID GOODBYE You never said I'm leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before we knew it, And only God knew why A million times we needed you, A million times we cried If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of us went with you, The day God took you home.
POEM 009.	TOMORROW When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne. He said "This is eternity and all I've promised you" Today, for life on earth is past, but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, for today will always last, And since each day's the same way, there's no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
POEM 010.	SAFELY HOME I am home in heaven, dear ones; oh, so happy and so bright! There is a perfect joy and beauty in the everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last. There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand, Do it now, while life remaineth, you shall rest in God's own land. When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; Oh, the rapture of that meeting oh, the joy to see you come!
POEM 011.	WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU When I must leave you for a little while please do not grieve and shed wild tears and hug your sorrow to you through the years but start out bravely with a gallant smile; and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same, feed not your loneliness on empty days, but fill each waking hour in useful ways, reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near; and never, never be afraid to die, for I am waiting for you in the sky!
POEM 012.	PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where this is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light And where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
POEM 013.	THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
POEM 014.	IF YOU KNEW If you knew where I am standing If you could see the sights I see If you could hear the angels singing The songs they sing eternally If you knew the One I'm holding Could see the smile He smiles at me If you knew where I am resting You would not cry for me I'm resting in the arms of Jesus No other place would I rather be So if you shed a tear Please don't shed it for me For if you knew where I am resting You would not cry for me
POEM 015.	THINKING OF YOU UP IN HEAVEN My eyes look up to you in heaven Thinking of embracing you. Communicating my love to you. Remembering your love and gentleness. Remembering your courage, strength and determination. Remembering how you celebrated life. Treasured memories of our time together here on earth. Knowing you are safe, and happy now forever.
POEM 016.	DO NOT CRY BECAUSE I HAVE GONE You can shed tears that I am gone, Or you can smile because I lived, You can close your eyes and pray that I will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that I have left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see me Or you can be full of the love that you shared with me, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember me and only that I am gone Or you can cherish my memory and let it live on, You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what I would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
POEM 017.	AN IRISH BLESSING May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
POEM 018.	REMEMBER ME To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated, But to the happy, I am at peace, And to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea - remember me. As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty - remember me. As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity - remember me. Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, and your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will have never gone.
POEM 019.	MY TIME TO LEAVE YOU It was my time to leave you I never thought this day would come That I would be leaving without you Leaving you with tasks undone I know you keep asking yourself why And leaving you always makes me cry Although now we seem so very far away I'll remember you every single day Your thoughts will always be a part of me Now God has called me and set me free I am watching and flying with the angels above Missing you and sending you all of my love
POEM 020.	WITHOUT A LAST GOODBYE We did not see you close your eyes, We did not see you go, All we knew was that you were gone, Without a last goodbye, It was sudden parting, Too bitter to forget, Only those who loved you, Are the ones who will never forget, The happy hours we once enjoyed, How sweet their memories still, But death has left a vacant place, This world can never fill. Your life was one of kindly deeds, A helping hand for others needs, Sincere and true in heart and mind, Beautiful memories left behind.
POEM 021.	WHEN YOU FEEL LONELY I am now with God, not too far away, Just look to the night sky on a clear day. The star that glitters and looks so bright, Will be me looking upon you during the night. I feel each and every emotion about you, As the sunlight warms and comforts you. When you feel lonely and you need a little love, Smile and look up to me in the heavens above.
POEM 022.	A LETTER FROM HEAVEN To my dearest family, there's something I'd like to say. But first of all, to let you know, that I've arrived okay. I'm writing this letter from heaven above. No more tears of sadness, just my eternal love. Please don't be unhappy because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. God picked me up and hugged me and said, "I welcome you." He gave me a list of things that he wanted me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it helps relieve the pain. Remember there would not be flowers, unless there was some rain. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; Remember I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
