Memorial Verses

Verse 1 - Code V-001

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.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

 

Verse 2 - Code V-002

If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again

 

Verse 3 - Code V-003

Your life was full of loving deeds,
Forever thoughtful of our special needs,
Today and tomorrow,
my whole life through,
I will always love and cherish you

 

Verse 4 - Code V-004

God looked around his garden
And 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 the road was getting rough
And the hills were 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.

 

Verse 5 - Code V-005

We hold you close within our hearts;
and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

 

Verse 6 - Code V-006

The Golden Gates stood open,
God saw you needed rest,
His garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.

 

Verse 7 - Code V-007

Two tired eyes are sleeping,
Two willing hands are still,
The one who worked so hard for us,
Is resting at God's will.

 

Verse 8 - Code V-008

In Gods care you rest above,
in our hearts you rest with love,
Memories of you are ours to keep,
Our words are few but our love is deep

 

Verse 9 - Code V-009

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 my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day

 

Verse 10 - Code V-010

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.

 

Verse 11 - Code V-011

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I 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 heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

 

Verse 12 - Code V-012

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

 

Verse 13 - Code V-013

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.

 

Verse 14 - Code V-014

In tears we saw you sinking,
And watched you pass away.
Our hearts were almost broken,
We wanted you to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping,
So peaceful, free from pain,
How could we wish you back with us,
To suffer that again.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.

 

Verse 15 - Code V-015

God saw him getting tired,
a cure was not to be.
He wrapped him in his loving arms
and whispered 'Come with me.'
He suffered much in silence,
his spirit did not bend.
He faced his pain with courage,
until the very end.
He tried so hard to stay with us
but his fight was not in vain,
God took him to His loving home
and freed him from the pain.

 

Verse 16 - Code V-016

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.

 

Verse 17 - Code V-017

You left us so suddenly,
your thoughts unknown,
You left us memories,
we are proud to own
