descriptions for poem section
Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.
Don’t remember me with sadness, Don’t remember me with tears, Remember all the laughter, We’ve shared throughout the years. Now I am contented That my life it was worthwhile, Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile. When you are walking down the street And you’ve got me on your mind, I’m walking in your footsteps Only half a step behind. So please don’t be unhappy Just because I’m out of sight, Remember that I’m with you Each morning, noon and night.
Don’t think of her as gone away – her journey’s just begun, life holds so many facets – this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today How nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched… for nothing loved is ever lost – and she was loved so much.
When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me. I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little, but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone, It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds, Miss me but let me go.
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what’s to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay. Our destination is a place far greater than we know, for some, the journey’s quicker, for some the journey’s slow. And when the journey finally ends, we’ll claim a great reward, and find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.

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.
A bouquet of beautiful memories, sprayed with a million tears, wishing God could have spared you, if just for a few more years. It does not take a special day, for us to think of you, each Mass we hear, each prayer we say, is offered up for you. We cannot bring the old days back, when we were all together, our family chain is broken now, but memories live forever.
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 Sunny 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.
I’m no longer by your side, but there’s no need to weep; I’ve left sweet recollections, I’m hoping you would keep. Eternal joy and memories stay in our hearts forever, Strengthening our special bond that parting cannot sever. Now it’s time to journey on, so let your faith be strong, For I am in a better place… I’m home where I belong. And if times of loneliness bring sorrow and dismay, Don’t despair, for I am there… just a memory away.
