1. 2. 3.
 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.

Along the road of
Suffering
You found a little lane;
That took you up
to heaven,
And ended all your pain.
You may be out of sight,
We may be worlds apart;
But you are always
in our prayers,
And forever in our
hearts.

God’s Garden
God looked around His garden and
saw an empty space,
He then looked down upon earth
and saw your tired face,
He put His arms around you and lifted
you to rest,
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
God knew you were in pain and a cure
was not to be,
So he closed your weary eyelids and
whispered come to me.
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you slip away,
Although we loved you dearly we knew
you could not stay.
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.

After Glow

 I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an after-glow
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.
 		 We lost a mother with a heart of gold,
How much we miss her
can never be told,
She shared our troubles
and helped us along,
If we follow her footsteps,
We will never go wrong.

What she suffered she told but few,
She did not deserve
what she went through,
Tired and weary she made no fuss,
But tried so hard to stay with us.

We prayed for a miracle all in vain,
That God would make you well again.
But God knew best, we had to part,
It eased your pain but broke our hearts.

We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.

She was a mother so very rare,
Content in her home and always there,
On earth she toiled, in heaven she rests,
God bless you Mother, you were one of the best.		 There comes a time for all of us
When we must say goodbye,
But faith and hope and love and trust
Can never, never die.
Although the curtain falls
at last
Is that a cause to grieve?
The future’s fairer than
the past
If only we believe.
Trust in God’s eternal care -
So when the Master calls
Let’s say that life is still
more fair
Although the curtain falls.

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.
 		 The Rose Beyond the Wall
Near a shady wall
a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed
in God’s free light,
Watered and fed
by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness
by day and night.
Shall claim of death
cause us to grieve,
And make our courage
faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and receive,
The rose still grows
beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance
far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.		 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.
