I’ll Be There
There was no time to say goodbyeBut this I ask – please do not cryRemember me as you think bestThe happy time – forget the rest.
Look for me and I’ll be thereAnd you will find me everywhereIn the gentle touch of breezeThat cools the skin or swirls the leaves.
In the scent and colour of flowersThat...

She’s in the Sun, the Wind, the Rain
She’s in the sun, the wind, the rain,she’s in the air you breathewith every breath you take.She sings a song of hope and cheer,there’s no more pain, no more fear.You’ll see her in the clouds above,hear her whisper words of love,you’ll be together before long,until then, listen for her song.

Proverbs 31: 10, 25-31
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth no the...

He is Gone (Remember Me)
You can shed tears that he is gone,Or you can smile because he lived,You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see himOr you can be full of the love that...

Her Smile
Though her smile is gone foreverand her hand I cannot touchI still have so many memoriesOf the one I loved so much.Her memory is now my keepsakeWhich with I’ll never part.God has her in her keepingI have her in my heart.Sadly missed, but never forgotten.

Remember Me - I Will Live Forever The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital; busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents...

Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the roadAnd the sun has set for meI want no rites in a gloom filled roomWhy cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for longAnd not with your head bowed lowRemember the love that once we sharedMiss me, but let me go.
For this is...

The Broken Chain
We little knew the day thatGod was going to call your name.In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same.It broke our hearts to lose youBut you didn’t go alone.For part of us went with youThe day God called you home.You left us peaceful memories.Your love is still our guide,And though we cannot see youYou...

Life Goes On
If I should go before the rest of youBreak not a flowerNor inscribe a stoneNor when I am goneSpeak in a Sunday voiceBut be the usual selvesThat I have known

It Will Never Be Goodbye…
If I should go tomorrowIt would never be goodbye,For I have left my heart with you,So don’t you ever cry.The love that’s deep within me,Shall reach you from the stars,You’ll feel it from the heavens,And it will heal the scars.~
