Long verse Memorial Verse

• Verse 1

  I’m Free
  
  Don’t grieve for me 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 peace at the close of day.
  If my parting has left a void,
  The 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’ve savoured much,
  Good friends, good times,
  A loved one’s touch,
  Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
  Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief,
  Lift your hearts and share with me,
  God wanted me now, He set me free.
  
  

• Verse 2

  A bouquet of beautiful memories
  Sprayed with a million tears,
  Wishing God could have spared you
  If just for a few more years.
  
  It does not take a special day,
  For us to think of you,
  Each mass we hear, each prayer we say,
  Is offered up for you.
  
  May she rest in peace dear Jesus
  In thy heavenly home above,
  With the Sacred Heart of Jesus
  In His own Eternal Love.
  
  Along the road to yesterday,
  That leads us straight to you,
  Are memories of happy days,
  Together we once knew.
  
  A silent grief that’s in our hearts,
  No human eye can trace,
  For many a broken heart is hid,
  Beneath a smiling face.

• Verse 3

  A Man’s Best Friend
  
  God’s gifts come in plenty, oh! They rarely are few
  The sunshine, the flowers, the rain and the dew
  But one special gift has God given to man
  And He gives it but once and He gives not again
  And that special gift from the father above
  Is a mother’s sweet care and her undying love.
  
  You only have one mother so treat her with care
  For no one can replace her when she is not there
  Care for her tenderly, love her above all
  For she was your guide when helpless and small
  And when she grows old, be still faithful and true
  And care for your mother as she cared for you.
  
  God’s greatest gift she is given to all
  To cry for our troublesand help when we fall
  And when she is gone to her long repose
  No elegant monument place o’er her head
  Here lies a mother is all need be said.

• Verse 4

  Do not stand at my grave and weep;
  I am not there, I do not sleep.
  I am a thousand winds that blow.
  I am a diamonds glint on snow,
  I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
  I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
  When you awaken
  In the morning’s hush,
  I am the swift uplifting rush
  Of quiet birds in circled 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.
