Funeral sympathy poems (general) William Morecomb – In Memoriam For a second you were flying Like you always wanted to Now you’ll fly forever In skies of azure blue We’ll see your smile in every ray Of sunshine after rain And hear the echo of your laughter Over all the pain The world’s a little quieter now The colours have lost their hue The birds are singing softly And our hearts are missing you Each time we see a little cloud Or a rainbow soaring high We’ll think of you and gently Wipe a tear from our eye By: Victoria Bruce The Life That I Have The life that I have Is all that I have And the life that I have Is yours The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours. A sleep I shall have A rest I shall have Yet death will be but a pause For the peace of my years In the long green grass Will be yours and yours and yours. Leo Marks 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 all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day comes we’re together again. Author unknown The day God called you home God looked around his garden And He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth, And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw that the road was getting rough. And the hills are hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids And whispered “Peace be thine”. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone For part of us went with you That day that God called you home Author unknown I have not gone You think I’ve gone, that I am dead, and life has lost its will, But look around, I am right there, living with you still I watch your tears, I feel your pain – I see the things you do I weep as well, each time you cry, my soul, it lives with you It gives such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do And when you smile o’er by gone days, I smile right with you too For we’re still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being Walking forward into life, though only you are seen And in the stillness of the night, when the pain it really starts Stretch out a little with your mind and draw me to your heart For I am always right in there, always by your side For you have been, all my life’s days, my joy, my love my pride. Author unknown I wrote your name I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away. So I wrote your name in my heart, and that’s where it will stay, always” Funeral sympathy poems (general) William Morecomb – In Memoriam For a second you were flying Like you always wanted to Now you’ll fly forever In skies of azure blue We’ll see your smile in every ray Of sunshine after rain And hear the echo of your laughter Over all the pain The world’s a little quieter now The colours have lost their hue The birds are singing softly And our hearts are missing you Each time we see a little cloud Or a rainbow soaring high We’ll think of you and gently Wipe a tear from our eye By: Victoria Bruce The Life That I Have The life that I have Is all that I have And the life that I have Is yours The love that I have Of the life that I have Is yours and yours and yours.
