W1
Lonely is the home without you, Life to us is not the same;
All the world would be like heaven, If we could have you back again. A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled.
May the God of Love and Mercy, Care for our loved one who is gone, And bless with consolation, Those left to carry on.
The happy hours we once enjoyed, How sweet their memory still, But death has left a vacant place, This world can never fill. How dearly we loved you,
And prayed you might live, But Jesus just beckoned,
And we had to give.
God gave us strength to bear it, And courage to fight the blow, What it has meant to lose you, God alone will ever know.
W3
I’M FREE
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 the 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 the 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; God set me free.
W5
THE WAY I FEEL
They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way I feel,
No-one knows the heartache, That lies behind my smile, No-one knows how many times, I have broken down and cried,
I want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

ESKIMO PROVERB
Perhaps they are not 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’re happy.
W2
A BUTTERFLY LIGHTS BESIDE US
A butterfly lights beside us
like a sunbeam,
and for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world:
but then it flies again.
And though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it.

THINK OF ME
When you’re feeling sad or blue, Look around and you’ll see I’m here with you
I’m the bird who soars
so high above
I’m the one who filled your heart with love
W7
If ever there is tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we’re apart... I’ll always be with you.
