Symbol of Hope. Unknown. Am Always With You

Transcription

1 Symbol of Hope A Symbol of Hope 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 lucky to have seen it. Am Always With You When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years. I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much you've given me in happiness. I thank you for the love that you have shown, But now it is time I traveled on alone. So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust That it is only for a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart. I won't be far away for life goes on. And if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear All my love around you soft and clear And then, when you come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".

2 I am not There Do not stand by my grave and weep For I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am diamonds that glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush of butterflies in joyous 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. Still Missing You They say there is a reason They say that time will heal But neither time nor reason Will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. We 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. We cannot bring the old days back, when we were all together The family chain is broken now, but memories live forever.

3 Smile Because He Lived 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 him, or you can be full of the love that you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn back, or you can do what he would want: Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. One Day at a Time You lived your life one day at a time. The words you shared were always kind. You loved us all with your whole heart. It saddens us to be apart, and forever we hold you in our hearts Today you stand in God's bright light. Watching over us day and night. In our hearts you will remain Until the day we meet again... Forever Your love will live on in our hearts and the hearts of those you touched. We are so grateful to God for blessing our lives with the beautiful gift of you. We miss you sweet angel, more than you can imagine.

4 With Love Today We thought of you with love today, But this is nothing new, We thought of you yesterday and the days before that too. We think of you in silence and often speak you name. All we have now are our memories, and your picture in a frame. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone. A part of us went with you The day God took you home God Picks a Flower Sometimes God picks a flower that's still in full bloom. Sometimes the flower that is chosen, we feel He's picked to soon. We're at peace knowing; in God's heavenly garden, He has placed the ones we treasure. You have changed our lives forever

5 Don t Cry for Me Don't cry for me now I have died, for I'm still here I'm by your side, My body's gone but my soul's is here, please don't shed another tear, I am still here I'm all around, only my body lies in the ground. I am the snowflake that kisses your nose, I am the frost, that nips your toes. I am the sun,bringing you light, I am the star, shining so bright. I am the rain, refreshing the earth, I am the laughter, I am the mirth. I am the bird, up in the sky, I am the cloud, that's drifting by. I am the thoughts, inside your head, While I'm still there, I can't be dead. To Those I Love If I should ever leave you to go along the silent way Grieve not nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me As if I were beside you there. And when you see a bird or hear a song that I loved Please do not let thought of me be sad. For I am loving you as I always have You were so good to me. There are so many things I wanted still to do So many things to say to you Remember that I did not fear. It was just leaving you that was so hard to face. We cannot see beyond but this I know I loved you so. It was heaven here with you.

6 Don't Grieve For Me 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 Him 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 place 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 savored much; Good friends, good times, a loved ones 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. I Will As long as I can I will look at this world for the both of us. As long as I can I will sing with the birds, I will laugh with the flowers, I will pray to the stars for both of us.

7 In Our Hearts We thought of you with love today. But that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too. We think of you in silence. We often speak your name. Now all we have is memories. And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake. With which we'll never part. God has you in his keeping. We have you in our heart.. In Memory Those we Love remain with us, for Love itself lives on. Cherished memories never fade, because a loved one is gone. Those we Love can never be, more than a thought apart. For as long as there is a memory, they ll live on in our heart.

8 We Remember Them From Gates of Prayer At the rising of the sun and at its going down At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn At the beginning of the year and when it ends When we are weary and in need of strength When we are lost and sick at heart When we have joy we crave to share When we have decisions that are difficult to make When we have achievements that are based on theirs As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as
