We miss you in so many ways,
We miss the things you used to say,

V-01 Road to Eternity
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be.
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant
To learn some things,
But never meant to stay…
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know,
For some, the journey’s quicker,
For some, the journey’s slow.
But when the journey
finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord
V-02 After Glow
I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an after-glow
of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo,
whispering softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun.

Of happy memories that I leave
when life is done.
V-03 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 on 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!
V-04 God Called You Home
Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
V-05 I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me now I’m free.
I’m following the path
God laid for me.
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 or play.
Tasks left undone
must stay that way.
I found that peace at close of 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 I too will miss.
Be not burdened
with times of sorrow,
I wish you
the 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 hearts
and share with me.
God wanted me now,
He set me free.
V-06 Closer than ever
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart
V-07 God’s Garden
God looked around his garden
and found an empty place
He then looked down upon this 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 suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again
He saw that the road was getting rough
and the hills are 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
V-08 Footprints
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 of 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."
V-09 The Lord is My Shepard
The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the
Paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
Shadow of death. I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me: thy rod and
Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the
Presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil:
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
Me all the days of my life: and I will
Dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
V-10 To the Child in my Heart
O precious tiny sweet little one you will always be to me,
so perfect, pure and innocent just as you were meant to be.
We dreamed of you and of your life and all that it would be,
we waited and longed for you to come and join our family.
We never had the chance to play, to laugh to rock to wiggle,
we long to hold you, touch you now and listen to you giggle.
I will always be your mother, he'll always be your dad,
you will always be our child, the child that we had.
But now you're gone...but yet you're here,
we'll sense you everywhere,
you are our sorrow and our joy, there's love in every tear.
Just know our love goes deep and strong,
we'll forget you never.
The child we had, but never had and yet we'll have forever.
V-11 Not a day goes by..
Got a picture of you I carry in my heart,
Close my eyes to see it when the world gets dark,
Got a memory of you I carry in my soul,
I wrap it close around me when the nights get cold,
If you ask me how I'm doing I'd say just fine,
But the truth is, if you could read my mind,
Not a day goes by, that I don't think of you,
After all this time, you're still with me it's true,
Somehow you remain, locked so deep inside,
Not a day goes by...
V-12 Irish Blessing
May the road
rise up to meet you,
May the wind
be always at your back,
May the sun shine
warm upon your face,
And the rains fall
soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
in the palm of His hand.
V-13 Message from Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
to stay in his grace
I came here before you
to help set your place
You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
if you continue to climb
To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
in a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
in the heaven’s above
Please take care of each other
I send you my love
V-14 I Am Home
I am home in heaven dear ones,
oh so happy and so bright.
There is perfect joy and beauty,
in this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
every restless yearning past.
I am now at peace forever,
safely home in heaven at last.
Dear ones, do not grieve so sorely,
for I love you dearly still.
Try to look beyond earth's shadow,
pray to trust our father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
so you must not idly stand.
When the work is all completed,
He will gently call you home.
Oh, the rapture of that meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come!
V-15 DAD
We'll always remember
that special smile,
that caring heart,
that warm embrace,
you always gave us.
You being there
for Mom and us
through good and bad times,
no matter what.
We'll always remember
you Dad because
they'll never be another one
to replace you in our hearts,
and the love we will always
have for you.
V-16 The Watcher
She always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.

And though we mocked her tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because she waited there.

Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget,
And so I think that where she is
She must be watching yet.

Waiting ‘til we come home to her
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
V-17 As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
V-18 Place In My Heart
If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane
I 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 I knew it
and only God knows why

My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears will flow
What it meant to love you -
No one can ever know

But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
life still has much in store

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today -
A hallowed place within my heart
is where you'll always stay
V-19 There Is A Special Angel
There is a special Angel in Heaven
that is part of me.
It is not where I wanted him
but where God wanted him to be.
He was here but just a moment
like a night time shooting star.
And though he is in Heaven
he isn't very far.
He touched the heart of many
like only an Angel can do.
So I send this special message
to the Heaven up above.
Please take care of my Angel
and send him all my love.
V-20 I Am..
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.
V-21 God’s Gift
God gives us each a gift of life
To cherish from our birth
He gives us friends and those we love
To share our days on Earth.
He watches us with loving care
And takes us by the hand.
He blesses us with countless joys
And guides the lives we’ve planned.
Then, when our work on Earth is done,
He calls us to His side,
To live with Him in happiness
Where peace and love abide.
V-22 Not Forgotten
You are not forgotten
Nor will you ever be
No one can fill your vacant place
Looking back with memories
Upon the path you trod
We bless the time we had with you
And leave the rest to God
V-23 Serenity Prayer
God grant me the Serenity to
Accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things
I can, and the Wisdom to know
the difference.
V-24 He is Gone
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your
back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes,
love and go on.
V-25 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!
V-26 If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
V-27 If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Mother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
V-28 In Our Hearts
We thought of you with love today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days 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..
V-29 I Have a Place in Heaven
I have a place in heaven
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears.
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
V-30 The Magic of a Mother's Touch
There's magic in a Mother's touch,
and sunshine in her smile.
There's love in everything she does
to make our lives worthwhile.
We can find both hope and courage
Just by looking in her eyes.
Her laughter is a source of joy,
her works are warm and wise.
There is a kindness and compassion
to be found in her embrace,
and we see the light of heaven
shining from a Mother's face.
V-31 Irish Funeral Prayer
You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true;
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.

When other friends forsake you,
To mother you will return,
For all her loving kindness,
She asks nothing in return.

As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.

Sweet Jesus, take this message,
To our dear mother up above;
Tell her how we miss her,
And give her all our love.
V-32 Mothers are the sweetest
Our mother is the sweetest
Most delicate of all.
She knows more of paradise
Than angels can recall.

She's not only beautiful
But passionately young,
Playful as a kid, yet wise
As one who has lived long.

Her love is like the rush of life,
A bubbling, laughing spring
That runs through all like liquid light
And makes the mountains sing.

And makes the meadows turn to flower
And trees to choicest fruit.
She is at once the field and bower
In which our hearts take root.

She is at once the sea and shore,
Our freedom and our past.
With her we launch our daring ships
Yet keep the things that last.
V-33 Her Journey's Just Begun
Her Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of her as gone away,
her journey's just begun,
Life holds so many facets,
this 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 or 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.
V-34 What Makes A Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... "DAD!”
V-35 Dad
We'll always remember
that special smile,
that caring heart,
that warm embrace,
you always gave us.
You being there
for Mom and us
through good and bad times,
no matter what.
We'll always remember
you Dad because
there will never be another one
to replace you in our hearts,
and the love we will always
have for you.
V-36 My Little Angel
You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
V-37 Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument
of Thy peace,
Where there 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 forgiving that we are pardoned;
And it is dying
that we are born to
Eternal life.
V-38 Prayer to Padre Pio
O Jesus, full of grace and charity,
victim for sinners, so impelled by love
for us that you willed to die on the
cross, I humbly beseech you to glorify
in heaven and on earth the Servant of
God, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, who
generously participated in Your
sufferings, who loved Thee so much
and laboured so faithfully for the
glory of Your heavenly Father and for
the good of souls. With confidence, I
beseech Thee to grant me, through his
intercession, the grace of … which I
ardently desire.
Glory be to the Father…
V-39 Our Lady Of Knock
I come to Thee, my Mother,
to lay before Thy feet,
my fears, my hopes, my longings,
my bitter hours and sweat.
O take them Mother Mary,
and place them by God’s throne,
your hands will give them value,
they’re worthless on their own.
As I kneel before you,
speak to your Son for me,
though poor and small my offering,
I know ’tis dear to thee.
For you your Son at Cana,
changed water into wine,
the needs of bride and bridegroom,
were small compared to mine.
And so, my Mother Mary,
I lay before Thy feet,
my fears, my hopes, my longings,
my bitter hours and sweat.
V-40 Memorare
Remember, O most gracious
Virgin Mary that never was it
known that anyone who fled to
Thy protection, implored Thy
help or sought Thy intercession,
was left unaided. Inspired by this
confidence I fly unto Thee,
O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother;
to Thee do I come, before Thee I
kneel sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in
Thy clemency hear and answer me.
Amen.
V-41 Hail Mary
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with Thee,
Blessed art Thou
among women,
And blessed is the fruit
of Thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour
of our death.
Amen.
V-42 The Lord Is My Shepard
The Lord is my shepherd, I’ll not want,
He makes me down to lie,
In pastures green he leadeth me,
The quiet waters by.
My soul he doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make.
Within the path of righteousness,
E’en for his own name’s sake.
Yea though I walk in death’s dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill,
For thou art with me and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
Goodness and mercy all my life,
Shall surely follow me,
And in God’s house for evermore,
My dwelling place shall be.
V-43 The Lords Prayer
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
hallowed by Thy name;
Thy kingdom come, Thy Will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation;
but deliver
us from evil. Amen.
V-44 Until We Meet Again
Please don't be unhappy
because I'm out of sight
Remember I am with you
morning, noon and night.
The day i had to leave you
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and said "Many welcome home to you".
And when it's time for you to go
from your body to be free,
think of where you are going
you are coming here to me.
V-45 We Miss You
We miss your smile,
your joking ways,
We miss the things
you used to say,
And when old times
we do recall,
It's when we miss you
most of all.
V-46 We Hold You Close...
We hold you close
within our hearts,
And there you shall remain,
To walk with us
throughout our lives,
Until we meet again.
So rest in peace
dear loved one,
And thanks for all
you've done,
We pray that God
has given you,
The crown you've
truly won.
