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.

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.

Fallen Limb A limb has fallen from the family tree.I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me”.Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.The good life I lived while I was strong.

Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.Remembering...

She Shall Be Praised Proverbs 31: 10, 25-31

There Will Come Soft Rains There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;And frogs in the pools singing at night,And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;Robins will wear their feathery fireWhistling their whims on a low fence-wire;And not one will know of the war, not oneWill care at last when it 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...

GONE FISHIN'

I’ve finished life’s chores assigned to me,So put me on a boat headed out to sea.Please send along my fishing poleFor I’ve been invited to the fishin’ hole.

Where every day is a day to fish,To fill your heart with every wish.Don’t worry, or feel sad for me,I’m fishin’ with the Master of the sea.

We will miss...
