You can only have one Mother,
patient, kind and true.
No other friend
in all the world,
will be the same to you.
When other friends
forsake you,
to mother you will return,
for all her loving kindness,
she asks nothing in return.
When we look upon
her picture,
sweet memories we recall,
of a face so full of sunshine,
and a smile for one and all.

Fondly loved and deeply mourned,
heart of our heart,
we miss you so;
often, our darling, our tears flow,
dimming your picture
before our eyes,
but never the one
in our heart that lies.
The stars seem dim
as we whisper low,
our darling girl, we miss you so.
*****
We hold our children's hand
for a while,
Their hearts forever.

Perhaps they are not
stars in the sky,
but rather openings
where our loved ones
shine down
to let us know
they are happy.

I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done,
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly
down the ways,
Of happy times and
laughing times and bright
and summer days.
I'd like the tears of those who
grieve, to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.

No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.

When someone you love
becomes a memory,
the memory
becomes a treasure.

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change
the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know
the difference.

"Make yourself familiar
with the angels,
and behold them
frequently in spirit;
for without being seen,
they are present with you"

"The guarian angels of life
sometimes fly so high
as to be beyond our sight,
but they are always
looking down upon us".
Jean Paul Richter

If I should go tomorrow
It 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.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard,
but always near,
Still loved, still missed
and very dear.

Those we love remain with us,
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories
never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
for as long as there is memory
they'll live on in our heart.

We hold you close
within our hearts,
And there you shall remain,
To walk with us
throughout our lives,
Until we meet again.
So rest in peace
dear loved one,
And thanks for
all you've done,
We pray that God
has given you,
The crown you've
truly won.

Forever remembered,
Forever missed.

Though absent
you are very near,
Still loved, still missed,
and very dear.

Sweet little flower
of heavenly birth,
She was too fair
to bloom on earth.

His charming ways
and smilling face,
Are a pleasure to recall,
He had a kindly word for each,
And died beloved by all.

He walks with us
down quiet paths,
And speaks in wind and rain,
For the magic power of memory,
Gives him back to us again.

Gone are the days
we used to share,
But in our hearts
you are always there,
The gates of memory
will never close,
We miss you more
than anyone knows,
With tender love
and deep regret,
We who love you
will never forget.

It's hard to believe
you are no longer here,
We think of you,
You feel so near,
In some small way,
every single day,
Memories of you
come our way.

While you, dear Mother,
rest and sleep,
Your loving memory
we'll always keep.

Lord, make me an instrument
of your peace.
Where there is hatred,
let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith:
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I
may not so much seek to
be consoled as to console;
To be understood
as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving
that we receive,
It is in pardoning
that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are
born to eternal life.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth
as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not
into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Tacaigh linn, a Thiarna, ar feadh an lae,
Go síneadh scátha um ard thrathnóna,
Go mbeidh deifir an domhain ciúnaithe
Agus fiabhras an tsaoil thart
Agus ár gcuid oibre déanta.
Ansin, a Thiarna, i do thrócaire
Bronn dídean orainn
Agus, ar deireadh,
scíth naofa an tsuaimhnis
Tré Chríost ár dTiarna.
Amen.

There is no night without a dawning,
No Winter without a Spring,
And beyond death's dark horizon
Our hearts once more will sing -
For those who leave us for a while
have only gone away
Out of a restless, careworn world
Into a 'Brighter Day'.

Helen Steiner Rice

A sad farewell to one we've loved,
Kind mother we recall;
Good mother with a gentle heart,
So full of love for all.
And in the evening of your life
A grandmother full of care;
In all our needs, at every turn,
We found you waiting there.
