Death

A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried,
If love alone would have saved you,
You would of never died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one can ever fill.
A light from our household is gone,
A voice from our love is stilled,
A place in our vacant home,
Which never can be filled.
Some may think you are forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more,
But in our memory you are with us,
As you always were before.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes,
with which we never part,
God has you safely in his keeping,
But we have you forever in our hearts.
Death is just the life's way of telling you....you're fired. Death is the only bitch that never leaves you. (Ernest Hemingway)
Die and go above.
I'll always think of you my love. If you're not there on Judgment Day, I'll know you've gone the other way. I'll give the angels back their wings, golden harps and everything Just to prove my love is true, I'd die and go to hell for you.
Don't grieve for me...for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned by back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I've found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
the fill it with remembered joy,
a love and 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 so much;
good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Don't lengthen it with undue grief.
God wanted me now, he set me free.
Gentle clouds trace the sweep of your angel wing. Your smile set the Heavens aglow. Without you my world is dark and cold. Shining Star, I wrap your memory around me and continue on this path to find you again.
God looked around his garden And he found an empty place He then looked down upon the 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.
His Journey's Just Begun...
Don't think of him as gone away...his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets... this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched.... for nothing loved is evenly lost...and he was loved so much.
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to me...".
With tearful eyes we watched
and saw you pass away.
Although we love you dearly,
we couldn't make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
If I should ever leave you of whom I love to go along the Silent Way grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you there.
(I'd come - I'd come, could I but find a way ! But would not tears and grief be barriers ? )
And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, please do not let the thought of me be sad... For I am loving you just as I always have. You were so good to me !
There are so many things I wanted still to do; so many things to say to you....
Remember that I did not fear.... It was just leaving you that was so hard to face.
We cannot see Beyond... But this I know:I loved you so...t'was Heaven here with you !
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you back again.

Never knock on Death's door. Just ring the door and run. He HATES that !!
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.
Remember friends as you pass by, As you are now so once was I. As low as I you once must be, Prepare yourself and follow me.
To those of you who know him, and the gracefulness of his touch; can only make us realize, the gift of a smile can mean so much.
Though he is absent from us in body, and has left behind a space; we can only hope he is at rest finally with the spirit of GOD, in a better place.
Let us then in love advise those left to remain, still searching for a clue, put GOD first and remember your families, for things like this can happen to you.
UNTIL WE MEET
Weep not for this empty vessel of clay. Let your tears be tears of joy, for at last I am away. Free of the mortal cage that had bound me here. Walking with my Savior now, and with my loved ones dear. Remember me with a smile upon my face, For now I'm smiling always, in this most glorious place. I walk and talk and smile without a worry or a care. I wait for you in heaven.
BE THERE !!
Where have you gone since yesterday and left us lonely here ? Today you seem so far away when yesterday you were near. No maps of ours that we use your journey can we trace. We only know you've reached your home and see the Fathers face. (Author Unknown)
