I'd
like the memory of meTo
be a happy one.I'd
like to leave an afterglowOf
smiles when life is done.I'd
like to leave an echoWhispering
softly down the ways.Of
happy times and laughingTimes
and bright andSunny
days.I'd
like the tears of those whoGrieve,
to dry before the sunOf
happy memories that I leaveWhen
life is done.
I'M
FREE
-- Author Unknown
Don't
grieve for me, for now I'm freeI'm
following the path God laid for me,I
took His hand when I heard him callI
turned my back and left it all.I
could not stay another dayTo
laugh, to love, to work or play,Tasks
left undone must stay that way,I
found that place at the close of day.If
my parting has left a voidThen
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 savored 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 meGod
wanted me now, He set me free.
The Day God Called You Home
-- Author Unknown
God
looked around His garden andHe
found an empty place,He
then looked down upon this earth,and
saw your tired face.He
put His arms around youand
lifted you to restGod'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 wouldnever
get well on earth again.He
saw the road was getting roughand
the hills were hard to climb.So
He closed your weary eyelids,and
whispered, 'Peace be thine,'It
broke our hearts to lose youBut
you didn't go aloneFor
part of us went with you
The day God
called you home.
