“Mother Dear.”

Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an
afterglow 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 sunny days

I'd like the tears of those

who greive to dry before

the sun,

of happy memories that

I leave when life is done.

May the road rise with you,

in the hollow of His hand.

In Memory Of

Indian Prayer

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 the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of
quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there, I did not die.

In Memory Of

Gospel of John

Let not your heart be troubled;
Ye believe in God, believe also in
me. In my Father’s house are many
mansions; if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you. And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may
be also.

In Memory Of

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures.
He leadeth me beside the
still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness
for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
For Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy
staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: Thou
anointest my head with oil: my cup
runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life: and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

In Memory Of

Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord’s, and the
fulness thereof; the world, and they
that dwell therein.

For he hath founded it upon the seas,
and established it upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the hill of
the Lord? Or who shall stand
in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure
heart; who hath not lifted up his soul
unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive the blessing from
the Lord, and righteousness from the God
of his salvation.

O GOD, to whom it belongeth always to
show mercy and to spare, we humbly
beseech Thee for the soul of Thy servant
whom Thou hast called out of this world,
that Thou deliver him not into the hands
of the enemy, nor forget him forever;
but command that he be received by
Thy holy Angels and taken to Paradise
his true country, and that as he hath
believed and hoped in Thee, he may not
suffer the pains of hell, but have joy
everlasting.

Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

filled with the sure hope that our departed
will rise again on the Last Day
with all who have died in Christ.

We thank you for all the good things
you have given during our departed’s
earthly life.

O Father, in your great mercy, accept
our prayer that the Gates of Paradise
may be opened for your servant.

In our turn, may we too be comforted
by the words of faith until we meet
Christ in glory and are united with
you and our departed.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

In Memory Of

A Police Officer’s Prayer

Lord I ask for courage:
courage to face and conquer my own
fears; courage to take me where others
will not go.

I ask for strength:
strength of body to protect others;
strength of spirit to lead others.

I ask for dedication:
dedication to my job and do it well;
dedication to my community
to keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern:
concern for all those who entrust me;
and compassion for those who need me;
and please, Lord, through it all
be at my side.

In Memory Of

A Firefighter’s Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
whenever flames may rage,
give me strength to save some

life, whatever be its age,

Help me embrace a little child

before its too late

or save an older person from

the horror of that fate.

I want to fill my calling and to

give the best in me, to guard thy

neighbor and protect his

property.

And if, according to my fate

I am to lose my life, please bless

with your protecting hand

my children and my wife.


In Memory Of

St. Francis of Assisi

Lord make me an instrument of Thy
peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, fai
th.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
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.

St. Francis of Assisi

In Memory Of

Timothy

I have fought the good
fight, I have finished
the race. I have kept
the faith. Henceforth
there is laid up for me
the crown of righteousness.

2 Timothy 4:7-8

In Memory Of

When you’re alone with Jesus

When you’re alone with Jesus
And He sweetly smiles upon thee,
Will you gently whisper to Him
A little prayer for me?

And when I’m alone with Jesus
And all else is hid from view,
I’ll gently drop into His heart
A little prayer for you.

In Memory Of

Foot Prints

LORD, you said that once I decided to
follow you, we would walk side by side
through life, but when I needed you
most, I saw only one set of footprints in
the sand.

The LORD replied, “I love you and
would never leave you. During your
times of trial and suffering, when you
saw only one set of footprints it was
then that I carried you.”

In Memory Of

Bridge of Love

There is a bridge of Memory
From Earth to Heaven above.
It keeps our dear ones near us,
It’s called the Bridge of Love.

May you always walk in sunshine,
And God’s love around you flow,
For happiness you gave us,
No one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

In Memory Of

We Sat Beside Your Bedside

(Father Dear) or (Mother Dear)

We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our duty to the end,
’Til we could do no more.

In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts,

That loved you most sincere;

We never shall and never will

Forget you, Father dear

In Memory Of

God Saw You Getting Tired

God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, “Come to Me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you,

And saw you pass away,

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay ,

A golden heart stopped beating

Hard working hands at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove

to us, He only takes the best.

In Memory Of

Something Beautiful Remains

The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.

The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.

The music stops, and yet it
echoes on in sweet refrains...

For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.
