Longer Memorial Verse |
| I remember the day I met you, And the day God made you mine, I remember the day God took you, And will till the end of time. We made our vows together, Until death do we part, But the day God took you from me, My whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I'm dreaming, I can't believe it's true, That I can go on living when I no longer have you, And the memories of the happy years, When we were together; The joys, the tears, the love, the fears, Will stay with me forever, And when I'm sad and lonely, And everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper, "Cheer up and carry on." Each time I see your picture, You seem to smile and say, "Don't cry I'm only sleeping, We'll meet again someday." |
| Two years have passed, we feel the
pain, Your absence is heartfelt ....(Name)..... Our wife (husband), our mother (father), and grandma (grandpa) too, The entire family missing you. You're in our hearts, not a day goes by, When your smile, your laughter, Brings a tear to the eye, Our loss bears pain, but the memories dear, For we know that our angel is very near. We know we'll see you again some day, We dearly love you more than words can say. |
| When trouble comes, your soul to
try, You love a friend who just stands by, Perhaps there's nothing she (he) can do, The thing is strictly up to you, For there are troubles all your own, And paths the soul must tread alone, Times when love cannot smooth the road, Nor friendship lift the heavy load, But just to know you are a friend, Who will watch over me until the end, Who's sympathy through all endures, Who's warm hand clasp is always yours, It helps some way to pull you through, Although there's nothing she (he) can do, And so with fervent heart you cry, "God bless the friend who just stands by." |
| God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, So He closed His arms around you, And He whispered "Come to Me". You do not deserve what you went through, And so He gave you rest, God's garden must be beautiful, For He only takes from the best. In time we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peacefully from pain, We could not wish you back, To suffer that again. If you had spoken before you died, These are the words you would have replied, "Weep not for me, but courage take, And love one another for my sake." |
| The moment that you died, Our hearts split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. We often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy, We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache, That never goes away. We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their dads, Treat him with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and he is not there. |
| Memory is life's sweetest gift, Please, God, forgive a silent tear, A fervent wish my Mom was here. There are others, yes I know, But she was mine, I loved her so, Dear God, take a message, To my Mother in Heaven above, Tell her how much I miss her, And give her all my love. |
| A million times I've needed you, A million times I've cried, If love could have saved you dear, You never would have died. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, My dearest ..(Name).. I loved you, In a very special way. If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I'd pray to God with all my heart, For yesterday and you. |
| How splendid it would be, If you were here to share it with your family. But God had other celebrations in mind, For you today. God thought they were important, So He took you away. The memories are vivid, As this special day arrived. And all our hearts and souls, Remember you with pride. The loss of you still hurts us, But the memory lingers there, In that space that feels so empty, That space that you still share. The tears will flow, the heart will ache, In wishing you were here, Oh, those memories ..(Name).. There is no way to greet you, But there is no more pain to bear. |
| You said I'd cry for just a while, And then you'd be forgotten, I vowed that day to prove you wrong, I hope that you've been watching. Your memories are alive and well, Your name used oh so often, I know you'd be real proud of me, I pray that you've been watching. Your resting place is as you wished, A heaven all its own, It's there I go to visit you, You'll never be alone. |
| Beautiful memories Are wonderful things, They last till the longest day, They never wear out, They never get lost, And can never be given away. To some you may be forgotten, To others a part of the past. But to us who loved and lost you, Your memory will always last. |
| There’s a place in heaven That’s marked "Reserved" For fathers such as he Who lived lifelong devotion to His wife and family. And there’s a place in our hearts Marked that way too. Where his dear memory Will be loved as he was loved, Before he entered eternity. |
| If I had all the world to give, I’d give it, yes, and more, To hear her voice, see her smile, And greet her at the door. But all I can do, dear Mother Is go and tend your grave, And leave behind tokens of love To the best mother God made. I like to think when life is done, Wherever heaven may be, She’ll be standing at the door Up there to welcome me. |
