Memories & Candles



When I come to the end of the road
and the sun has set on 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--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.

Another Monday...

Although death has separated us physically,
faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
we know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
we feel the warmth of your smile,
as we begin another day in our lives.

Oceans of Love,

Honey,

We lit a candle tonight, in honor of you
remembering your life, and all the times we'd been through.
Such a small little light the candle made
until we realized how much in darkness it lit the way.
All the tears we've cried in all our grief and pain
what a garden they grew watered with human rain.
We sometimes can't see beyond the moment, in hopeless despair.
But then your memory sustains us, in heartaches repair.
We can wait for the tomorrow, when our sorrows ease
until then we’ll light this candle every night, and let our memories run free.

Oceans of Love,

Your Children

In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day Honey,
That we do not think of you.

We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

I remember when you first met Manoccher you always slept with your brown Teddy Bear that we had since you were 7.
Manoocher told you the bear had to go when he was married to you and you still snuck the bear into bed with you.
Memories are all I have left of you Sis but they will always cheer me up cause I have so many inside my heart to last several life times. Valerie

It’s been two months, Honey
Am still lost and confused
I thought with passing time, things will start to make sense again
Not only it hasn’t, it’s getting worse
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you
I cry for no reason
I feel sad for no reason
The promises I made, I did not keep
I feel so alone and lost
Missing you is so hard
I keep the candle lit every day
Fresh cut flowers from the garden
A picture of you to look at
Just

... more

We wanted so much to keep you
We watched you day by day.
Until with breaking hearts
We saw you slip away.

God watched you as you suffered,
And knew you had your share.

He gently closed your weary eyes,
And took you in his care.

Your memory is our keepsake,
With that we'll never part.

God has you in His keeping,
We have you in our hearts.

Nothing can be more beautiful,
than the memories we have of you.

To us you were someone special,
God must have thought so too.
