A million times we've needed you A million times we have 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, For in our hearts you hold A place no-one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you. But you did not go alone, For a part of us went with you The day God took you home. ~~Author Unknown~~ When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be thankful for our beautiful years. I gave to you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you have shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a time that we must part So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on So if you need me, call, and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear All my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile, and say: " Welcome Home," Welcome Home"! ~Author unknown~ Their Journey's Just Begun Don't think of them as gone away, their journey has just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of them as resting from the sorrows and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years. Think of how they must be wishing that we could know, today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of them as living in the hearts of those they touched for nothing loved is ever lost and they were loved so much. Anonymous One heart of gold stopped beating, two shining eyes at rest, God broke our hearts to prove, He only takes the best. God knows you had to leave us, but you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day He took you home. To some you are forgotten, to others just part of the past, but to us who loved and lost you, the memory will always last. Anonymous If 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 care for me, and how much I care for 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 as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do. it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while, I’d say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow. I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow. 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 your life on earth is past but here it’s starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last. and since each day’s the same, there’s no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true. Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do. And you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free. So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?" So if tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, please know I’m in your heart. Author Unknown One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along a 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 so he turned to the Lord and said, "There is something I don't understand. Why is it that down the hills and over the smooth and easy places you have walked by my side. But over the tough and difficult places I have walked alone, for I see in those areas there is just one set of footprints?" The Lord turned to the man and said, "My precious child. I love you and I never left you. It is that while your life was easy I walked along your side. But here, where the walking was hard and the paths were difficult, it was then that I carried you." ~ Author Unknown ~ If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again. No farewell words was spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness, and secret tears still flow. What it means to lose you, no one will ever know. Author Unknown
