Poem of Comfort

We little knew that morning
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly;
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone.
Part of us went with you,
the day God call you home.
You left us wonderful memories;
your love is still our guide.
Although we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again…
gone but not forgotten
We sat beside your bedside
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our best to the end,
‘Til we could do no more.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will
Forget you Mother dear.

May God be with you and bless you, May you see your children’s children, May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings. May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.
Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow.Remember the sky, the laughter, the smiles, I’ve only gone to rest a while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief!So dry your eyes and remember me. Not as I am now, […]
