The Soldier
If I should die, think only this of me:That there’s some corner of a foreign fieldThat is forever England. There shall beIn that rich earth a richer dust concealed;A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,A body of England’s, breathing English air,Washed by the rivers, blessed by sons...

I’d like the memory of meto be a happy one.I’d like to leave an after glowof smiles when life is done.I’d like to leave an echowhispering softly down the ways,Of happy times and laughing timesand bright and sunny days.I’d like the tears of those who grieve,to dry before the sunof happy memoriesthat I leave when life is...

The Broken Chain
We little knew the day thatGod was going to call your name.In life we loved you dearly,In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose youBut you didn’t go alone.For part of us went with youThe day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories.Your love is still our guide,And though we...

She’s in the Sun, the Wind, the Rain
She’s in the sun, the wind, the rain,she’s in the air you breathewith every breath you take.She sings a song of hope and cheer,there’s no more pain, no more fear.You’ll see her in the clouds above,hear her whisper words of love,you’ll be together before long,until then, listen for her song.

Her Smile
Though her smile is gone foreverand her hand I cannot touchI still have so many memoriesOf the one I loved so much.Her memory is now my keepsakeWhich with I’ll never part.God has her in her keepingI have her in my heart.Sadly missed, but never forgotten.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to...

It Will Never Be Goodbye…
If I should go tomorrowIt 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.

Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from the family tree.I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me”.Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.Remembering...

She Shall Be Praised
Proverbs 31: 10, 25-31
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.Strength and honor are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth no the...

There Will Come Soft Rains There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;And frogs in the pools singing at night,And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;Robins will wear their feathery fireWhistling their whims on a low fence-wire;And not one will know of the war, not oneWill care at last when it is...
