Funeral Verse

For those who don't know what to say
A few lines now'n'again;
Will inspire you and raise memories
To show you-yes you can.

**

Words to say whilst you pray
At the graveside of someone you love;
The only thing holding you up
Is the strength coming from up above.

The fight for life has now been lost
A fight always to the very end;
As precious life ebbed away
I thank you for being my friend.

We spent some time down memory lane
It was still fun as it always was;
It made us smile triumphantly
We still had that same buzz.

So Goodbye my friend
We'll meet again some day;
Till then enfolded in angels wings
There's no more I can say.
Maggie-May

Daisy born sleeping

Underneath the arches
The tree lined path it stops;
That's where you'll be at peace
Where the flowers grow like crops.

Your favorite to flower all year round
You'll never be alone;
The birds and bees will fly around
In heaven you'll be grown.
Maggie-May

Adieu & Au Revoir

As you love me, let there be
No mourning when I go,
No tearful eyes,
No hopeless sighs,
No woe, nor even sadness!
Indeed I would not have you sad,
For I myself shall be full of glad,
With the high triumphant gladness of a soul made free
Of God’s sweet liberty
No windows darkened:
For my own
Will be flung wide as ne’er before,
To catch the rqadiant inpour
Of Love that shall in full arone
For all the ills that I have done:
And the good things that I have left undone:
-No voices hushed:
My own full flushed
With an immortal hope, will rise
In ecstasies of new born bliss
And joyful melodoies.
Rather, of your sweet courtesy,
Rejoice with me
At my soul’s loosing from captivity.
Wish me Bon Voyage
As you do a friend
Whose joyous visit finds its happy end.
John Oxenham

I know I have to let you go.
How I will, I do not know.
I know that it's your time to die.
What I don't know is how to say goodbye.
I'll miss you so much I don't know what to do.
I guess I'll just end this poem with a goodbye
and an I love you.

Funeral Verse

**

Indian prayer
When I am dead
Cry for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much
Think of me now and again
As I was in life
At some moments it’s pleasant to recall
But not for long
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living

**

Laugh, and the world laughs with you,
Weep, and you weep alone,
For sad old earth must borrow it’s mirth,
But has trouble enough of it’s own.
Sing,and the hills will answer;
Sigh,it is lost on the air,
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice,and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they will turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure.
But they do not need your woe.
Be gald, your friends are many,
Be sad,and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life’s gall.

Feast,and your halls are crowded,
Fast,and the world goes by.
Succeed and give – and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and worldly train
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
Solitude
Ella Wheeler Cox

Epitaph upon a child that died
Here she lies, a pretty bud,
Lately made of flesh and blood:
Who as soon fell fast asleep
As her little eyes did peep
Give her strewings, but did not stir
The earth that lightly covers her.
Robert Herrick

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 warmed,
Few heads with knowledge so in formed;
If there’s another world ,he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.
Robert Burns
