Isaiah 25: 7-9
And He will destroy on this mountainThe surface of the covering cast over all people,And the veil that is spread over all nations.He will swallow up death forever,And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces;The rebuke of His peopleHe will take away from all the earth;For the Lord has spoken.And it will be...

Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep
Do not stand By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep-I am the thousand winds that blowI am the diamond glints in snowI am the sunlight on ripened grain,I am the gentle, autumn rain.As you awake with morning’s hush,I am the swift up-flinging...

Epitaph On A Friend
An honest man here lies at rest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd;
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.

Your Spirit
I know that no matter whatYou will always be with me.When life separates usI’ll know it is only your soulSaying goodbye to your bodyBut your spirit will be with me always.When I see a bird chirping on a nearby branchI will know it is you singing to me.When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freelyI...

Cowgirl's Prayer
Of all the things that come to be in life,
I pray LORD, please never let me know
the last time I will saddle my horse,
ride the pastures or tend to my cattle.
LORD, on that day, I pray you meet me to say
"Welcome home, your new trail begins here."

Too Soon
This was a life that had hardly begunNo time to find your place in the SunNo time to do all you could have doneBut we loved you enough for a lifetime
No time to enjoy the world and its wealthNo time to take life down off the shelfNo time to sing the songs of yourselfThough you had enough...

She Shall Be Praised
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...

Another Leaf Has Fallen
Another leaf has fallen,another soul has gone.But still we have God’s promises,in every robin’s song.
For he is in His heaven,and though He takes away,He always leaves to mortals,the bright sun’s kindly ray.
He leaves the fragrant blossoms,and lovely forest, green.And gives us new found comfort,when we on Him will lean.

Remember me when I am gone away,Gone far away into the silent land;When you can no more hold me by the hand,Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.Remember me when no more day by dayYou tell me of our future that you plann'd:Only remember me; you understandIt will be late to counsel then or pray.Yet if you...

Hope
Our lives, discoloured with our present woes,May still grow white and shine with happier hours.So the pure limped stream, when foul with stainsOf rushing torrents and descending rains,Works itself clear, and as it runs refines,till by degrees the floating mirror shines;Reflects each flower that on the border grows,And a new heaven in it’s fair bosom shows.

The Angel of Patience
Beside the toilsome wayLonely and dark, by fruits and flowers unblest,Which my feet tread sadly, day by day,Longing in vain for rest. An angel softly walks,With pale sweet face, and eye cast meekly down,The while from withered leaves and flowerless stalksShe weaves my fitting crown. A sweet and patient grace,A look of firm endurance, true and tried,Of suffering...
