1)
Heaven's gate swung gently open,
The Master called softly, "Come,"
And you, dear one, took the Master's hand,
And your work on earth was done.
We'll never cease to miss you,
And shed many silent tears,
Because we cannot share with you
Our hopes, our joys, our fears.
But one day, in God's garden,
When the Master calls us to come.
You'll be at the gates with open arms
And say to us, "Welcome Home!:
2)
Within our hearts we always keep
A special place for you,
And try to do our best to live
As you would want us to.
As we loved you, so we miss you,
In our memory you are near;
Loved, remembered, longed for always
With the passing of each year.
3)
We think of you, dear (first name),
And our hearts are filled with pain.
This world would be a heaven
Could we hear your voice again.
Years have swiftly passed,
But still we don't forget,
For in the hearts that loved you best,
Your memory lingers yet.
4)
Sometimes a note of a song
Brings us a thought of you.
Sometimes a flower as we pass along,
Or a sky that is azure blue;
Or a silver lining in the clouds
When the sunshine's peeping through
5)
O happy hours we once enjoyed
How sweet their memory still.
But death has left a loneliness
The world can never fill.
6)
Your presence is ever near us,
Your love remains with us yet,
You were the kind of father,
Your children will never forget.
7)
Every day, in some small way,
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are ever near,
Still missed, still loved, and ever dear.
8)
Please, God, forgive a silent tear,
A fervent wish our dad was here.
There are others, yes, we know,
But he was ours, we loved him so.
9)
In tears 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 free from pain.
We could not wish you back dad
To suffer that again.
10)
Time speeds on, one year has passed
Since death its gloom, its shadow cast
Within our home, where all seemed bright,
And took from us a shining light.
We miss that light, and ever will
His vacant place there is none can fill
Down here we mourn, but not in vain,
For up in Heaven we will meet again
11)
We think of our dad as a down to-earth guy,
Just plain, like the sea, the wind and the sky.
We think, and we know he has gone from our side,
But we think of our dad with the utmost of pride.
12)
Loving and kind in all his ways,
Upright and just to the end of his days,
Sincere and kind in heart and mind
What a beautiful memory he left behind.
13)
His helping hand was always first
To render any aid he could;
His voice was always raised in praise,
His words were wise and good.
Dear father since you've gone away,
The ones you loved so true,
Try hard to carry on the way
We know you'd want us to.
14)
Farewell, dear father, thy work is over,
Thy willing hands will toil no more,
A loving father, kind and true;
No one on earth we'll find like you

Mothers

1)
What would we give her hand to clasp,
Her patient face to see,
To hear her voice, to see her smile
As in the days that used to be,
But some sweet day we'll meet again
Beyond the toil and strife,
And clasp each other's hand once more
In Heaven, that happy life.
2)
A mother who gave us the best years of her life.
Who cherished our secrets, our sorrows, our strifes,
Who taught us to love and taught us to pray.
Dear mother in heaven, God bless you today
3)
You are always in our minds.
No matter what we do.
All the time within our hearts.
There are thoughts of you.
4)
In all the world we shall not find
A heart so wonderfully kind;
So soft a voice, so sweet a smile,
An inspiration so worth while.
A sympathy so sure, so deep
A love so beautiful to keep
5)
As I loved you, so I miss you;
In my memory you are near.
Loved, remembered, longed for always,
Treasured with a love sincere.
You are where I cannot see you,
And your voice I cannot hear;
Yet I know you walk beside me,
Never absent, always near
6)
A wonderful mother, woman and aid,
One who was better, God never made;
A wonderful worker, loyal and true,
One in a million, that, Mother, was you.
Just in your judgment, always right,
Honest and liberal, ever upright;
Loved by your friends and all you knew,
A wonderful mother, that, Mother, was you.
7)
We miss her love and cheery ways;
With her we spent our happiest days.
In memory we see her the same;
As long as we live, we'll cherish her name
8)
Always a smile instead of a frown,
Always a hand when one was down;
Always true, faithful and kind,
Wonderful memories she left behind
9)
Our hearts are like a memory book
Its pages Mother dear,
Hold all the loving thoughts of you
Recorded year by year.
A book of golden yesterdays,
Bound with love and care,
A rare edition Mother dear
Because you're treasured there.
10)
She has gone across the river
To the shore of ever green,
And we long to see her dear face,
But the river flows between.
Some day, sometime, we shall see
The face we loved so well,
Some day we'll clasp her loving hand
And never say farewell.
11)
If I have 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 ever made
12)
We often sit and think of her
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend,
That grief can call its own;
Like ivy on the withered oak,
When other things decay,
Our love for her will still be green
And never fade away
13)
Till roses lose their petals,
Till the heather has lost its dew,
Till the end of time, dear Mother,
We will remember you.
14)
She walks with us down quiet paths,
And speaks in wind and rain,
For the magic of memory,
Gives her back to us again.
15)
Two dear bright eyes, a tender smile,
A loving heart that knew no guile,
Deep trust in God that all was right,
Her joy to make some other bright.
If sick or suffering one she knew,
Some gentle act of love she'd do,
I know He said "well done", mother

1)
Gone from the earth so swiftly,
Just like a flower in bloom,
So young, so fair, so loving,
Yet called away so soon.
We'll meet him some glad morning,
Resting by waters fair,
he is waiting for our coming,
In the upper garden there,
Safe in the arms of Jesus.
2)
God gave us a wonderful son,
His memory will never grow old,
He fashioned his smile out of sunshine,
He moulded his Heart of pure gold.
He needed a new star in Heaven,
A beautiful light to shine,
So out of this old world of sorrow,
He chose that dear son of mine.
3)
From our happy home and circle
God has taken one we loved,
Borne away from sin and sorrow
To a nobler rest above.
No one knows how we miss him
None but aching hearts can tell;
Lost on earth, but found in Heaven
Jesus doeth all things well.
4)
He has solved it, life's wonderful problem,
The deepest, the strangest, the last,
And into the school of the angels
With the answer forever has passed.
How strange he should sleep so profoundly,
So young, so unworn by the strife,
While beside him, brimful of hope's nectar,
Untouched, stood the goblet of life.
God knew all about it; how noble,
How gentle he was, and how brave;
How bright his possible future,
Yet put him to sleep in his grave.
God knew all about those who loved him
How bitter the trial must be;
And right through it all, God is loving,
And knows so much better than we
5)
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break, all in vain,
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of the heart.
6)
God knows how much we miss him,
Never shall his memory fade;
Loving thoughts shall ever wander,
To the spot where he is laid.
7)
Time may wipe out many things,
But this it wipes out never -
The memory of those happy days
When we were all together
8)
Just thinking of the thoughtful things,
That you have said and done,
And loving you a little more,
Dear son, for each and every one.
9)
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent is the voice we loved to hear,
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for thought to reach.
Sweet to remember him once here,
Who, though absent, is just as dear.
10)
Surrounded by friends I am lonesome,
In the midst of my joys I am blue,
With a smile on my face I've a heartache,
Longing, dear son for you.
11)
Broken is our family circle,
Our dear one is passed away,
Passed from earth and earthly darkness,
Into bright and perfect day;
But we all must cease to languish,
O'er the grave of him we love,
Strive to be prepared to meet him,
In the better world above.
12)
Memory is a lovely land,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane I so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.
13)
We often sit and think of him
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend,
That grief can call its own;
Like ivy on the withered oak
When other things decay
Our love for him will still be green
And never fade away
14)
Time may heal the broken hearted,
Time may make the wound less sore;
But it cannot fill the longing,
For the loved one gone before.
Who shall say the grief is lessened,
Though smiles hide the tears;
Memories keep the wound still open,
With the passing of the years
15)
I Think of him in silence,
His name I often recall,
There is nothing left to answer,
But his picture on the wall.
16)
His charming ways and smiling face,
Are a pleasure to recall;
He had a kindly word for each,
And died beloved by all.
17)
Beside your grave I often stand
With heart both crushed and sore,
Silent till the sweet words come,
"Not lost, but gone before."
God knows how much I miss you,
He counts the tears I shed,
And whispers "He only sleeps,
Your loved one is not dead."
So I'll be brave dear (name),
And pray to God each day,
And when He calls me home to you,
Your smile will guide the way
18)
Loving and kind in all his ways,
Upright and just to the end of his days,
Sincere and kind in heart and mind
What a beautiful memory he left behind.
19)
He had a nature you could not help loving
And a heart that was purer than gold;
And to those who knew him and loved him
His memory will never grow cold
20)
God took him home, it was His will,
But in our hearts we love him still,
His memory is as dear today
As in the hour he passed away.
We often sit and think of him
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own
21)
Time speeds on, one year has passed
Since death its gloom, its shadow cast
Within our home, where all seemed bright,
And took from us a shining light.
We miss that light, and ever will
His vacant place there is none can fill
Down here we mourn, but not in vain,
For up in Heaven we will meet again.
22)
His memory is my keepsake
With which I'll never part.
God has him in His keeping,
I have him in my heart
23)
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 glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain;
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight;
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
24)
Tenderly we treasure the past,
With memories that will always last;
And when we cease to think of you,
Will be when God has called us too.
25)
Things I feel most deeply,
Are the hardest things to say,
My dearest one, I loved you,
In a very special way.
If I could have one lifetime wish,
One dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart,
For yesterday and you.
26)
We miss you now, our hearts are sore
As time goes by we miss you more
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place.
27)
Down a road that's calm and peaceful,
Guided by God's loving hand,
He has gone upon a journey
To a distant, brighter land.
And although our hearts are heavy
With sorrow we still bear,
It helps to bring us comfort,
Knowing he is happy there
28)
Wishing today as we wished before
That God could have spared you many years more.
In our heart your memory is kept.
To love, to cherish and to never forget
29)
Although we smile and make no fuss
No one misses him more than us.
And when old times we oft recall,
It's then we miss you most of all.
30)
O happy hours we once enjoyed.
How sweet their memory still.
But death has left a loneliness
The world can never fill.

1)
We think of you, dear (first name),
And our hearts are filled with pain.
This world would be a heaven
Could we hear your voice again.
Years have swiftly passed,
But still we don't forget,
For in the hearts that loved you best,
Your memory lingers yet.
2)
A million times I've needed you
A million times I've cried,
If love could have saved you
You never would have died.
Things we feel most deeply
Are the hardest things to say,
My dearest one, 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
3)
If you have a tender message,
Or a loving word to say;
Do not wait till you forget it,
But whisper it today.
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent;
The long forgotten message,
The wealth of love unspent.
For these some hearts are breaking,
For these some loved ones wait;
So show them that you care for them,
Before it is too late.
4)
What would we give her hand to clasp,
Her patient face to see,
To hear her voice, to see her smile
As in the days that used to be,
But some sweet day we'll meet again
Beyond the toil and strife,
And clasp each other's hand once more
In Heaven, that happy life
5)
In our home she is fondly remembered,
Sweet memories cling to her name;
Those who loved her in life sincerely,
Still love her in death just the same.
6)
As I loved you, so I miss you;
In my memory you are near.
Loved, remembered, longed for always,
Treasured with a love sincere.
You are where I cannot see you,
And your voice I cannot hear;
Yet I know you walk beside me,
Never absent, always near.
7)
We miss her love and cheery ways;
With her we spent our happiest days.
In memory we see her the same;
As long as we live, we'll cherish her name.
8)
Always a smile instead of a frown,
Always a hand when one was down;
Always true, faithful and kind,
Wonderful memories she left behind.
9)
Always smiling, happy and content,
Loved was my sister wherever she went,
To a beautiful life came a sudden end,
She died as she lived, everyone's friend
10)
She has gone across the river
To the shore of ever green,
And we long to see her dear face,
But the river flows between.
Some day, sometime, we shall see
The face we loved so well,
Some day we'll clasp her loving hand
And never say farewell.
11)
She walks with us down quiet paths,
And speaks in wind and rain,
For the magic of her memory,
Gives her back to us again.

1)
A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
2)
God knows how much we miss him,
Never shall his memory fade;
Loving thoughts shall ever wander,
To the spot where he is laid.
3)
Sad is the heart of her parents,
Yet brave as she'd want us to be
Consoled by the thought of meeting
On the shore of eternity.
4)
Clasped in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His arms entwined
Sweetly her soul now rests.
5)
He has solved it, life's wonderful problem,
The deepest, the strangest, the last,
And into the school of the angels
With the answer forever has passed.
How strange he should sleep so profoundly,
So young, so unworn by the strife,
While beside him, brimful of hope's nectar,
Untouched, stood the goblet of life.
God knew all about it; how noble,
How gentle he was, and how brave;
How bright his possible future,
Yet put him to sleep in his grave.
God knew all about those who loved him
How bitter the trial must be;
And right through it all, God is loving,
And knows so much better than we
6)
Two little hands are resting,
A little heart is still;
A little one we loved is waiting
For us just over the hill.
7)
O blessed little sunbeam,
O child of love and prayer;
We give thee to the keeping
Of the tender Shepherd's care.
8)
She was a flower too sweet for earth,
Sent here but for a while;
God marked her when He gave her birth
And took her with a smile.
9)
No stain was on her little heart,
Sin had not entered there,
And, innocent, slept sweetly on,
That pale, white brow so fair.
She was too pure for this cold earth,
To beautiful to stay,
And so God's holy angel bore
Our darling one away
10)
She was only a little white rose,
A sweet little flower from birth;
God took her home to heaven
Before she was soiled on earth.
We miss her love and cheery ways;
With her we spent our happiest days;
In memory we see her the same;
As long as we live, we'll cherish her name.
11)
In the golden street of Heaven
As the happy children play
Gentle Jesus watches o'er them
Caring for them day by day.
We may find comfort knowing
In our Father's home above,
Our brother is happy
In the sweetness of His love.
12)
There the earthly buds transplanted
For our coming watch and wait,
In the upper garden growing
Just within the pearly gate.
Though' our hearts may be breaking,
By the grief so hard to bare,
We shall meet her, one bright morn,
In the upper garden there
13)
Gone from the earth so swiftly,
Just like a flower in bloom,
So young, so fair, so loving,
Yet called away so soon.
We'll meet her some glad morning,
Resting by waters fair,
She is waiting for our coming,
In the upper garden there,
Safe in the arms of Jesus.
14)
Fondly loved and deeply mourned
Heart of my heart, I miss you so,
Often my darling, my tears flow,
Dimming your picture before my eyes
But never the one in my heart that lies,
A letter to Dusty
From Mom

I always had one dearest wish,
a son to be born was top of my list.
that day it came and my heart it did flow,
with joy and love that only mothers would know.
I'd sit and I'd sing and I'd hold you so tight,
wrapped in my arms by day, and by night.
my feelings growing forever stronger,
as nightimes on earth, get longer and longer.
we played, we laughed, we joked together,
hoping those times would last forever.
I sat so proud as I watched you grow,
into that handsome man ill always know.
but now that youve gone to your heavenly place,
my memories I have of my loving son's face.
I know you would tell me ''mom please do not cry''
but my boy he is waiting, in the sky.
I know we will be together again soon,
so move over angels, make mommy some room.
so together we will sit and watch the world go by
in my loving son's arms in our place in the sky.

A poem for Jaime
written by Jayne
From deep inside I felt you grow,
all was precious from top to toe.
into the world you gently came,
my special daughter, jaime, your name.
then each and every single day,
we hugged we loved, and preciously played.
from that small bundle you grew with me,
and times I bounced you on my knee.
As time went by our bond it grew,
as only a mother and daughter knew.
those precious times we would spend together,
laughing, crying but fighting, never.
the lord then called you to his side,
to sit and watch, to love and guide.
to gently watch from your heavenly place,
my aching heart and lonely face.
but happiness I know is always near,
as I feel you with me, I know no fear.
I smell you, hear you and feel your touch,
as if still here, I wish so much.
but deep within, ill always know
a daughters love will always grow
and until that time we meet again
my heart will endure it's daily pain
so now my angel ill hope and pray
until we hold and love and play.
to feel your kiss upon my brow,
take care my angel, good bye for now.

Broken Hearted mothers prayer
on 4th june 2005, your life was ended and so was mine.
my precious bobby, my heart and soul,
to find your love,your only goal.
but evil waited for you that day,
and took my precious boy away.
the pain i feel cannot be told,
the hurt and pain, til i grow old.
too many shots for you to take
and one that caused your heart to break.
your soul it lifted from the ground
in jesus arms you were heaven bound
and once in heaven you smiled at me
and saw me bending on my knees
you saw me cry you saw me weep,
as teardrops fell upon your feet
so now i kneel at your place,
and close my eyes to see your face.
your cheeky smile, your loving grin,
brings the warmth back home again.
now with dad you sit and wait,
at the entrance to the pearly gates
til one day together well be,
a family in arms, bobbo, john, and me.
so time it passes slowly by,
and every night you know i cry.
i hear you say, mom 'im ok'
and struggle to face another day.
i know your near, i see your face,
your shadow runs around this place,
your voice i hear it in the night,
sleepwell my mother, god bless good night
Written by Jayne Dyer
you made me promise you three little things
before you grew your heavenly wings.
the first was to take you home with me
and that i did so happily.
the second was to hold you oh so tight
throughout the day and through the night.
i held you close until you passed,
the pain i felt will always last
the third was not to let you go,
so in our house i held you so.
now in spirit you will always be,
but in my heart you're here with me.
the lord he came into our home
and took you by the hand
and whispered in your ear john
'your life has been so grand'.
your dad then came to lead the way,
untill we meet another day,
and up to heaven off you flew
to meet with bobbo, to start anew.
and as you sit within the sky,
im sorry my darling, i need to cry,
as without you here im just alone,
and wish so much that you were home.
july 27th 1979, you placed that ring
and made you mine
our time together was meant to be,
my husband and friend forever will be.
we made those vows that made me whole,
to love forever our only goal,
and even today those vows i have kept,
a million tears and more i have wept.
four precious children we had together,
and now they miss you too, always, forever
twenty seven years of married bliss,
of all these things john, it's you i miss.
so when i cry and when i weep,
i'll dream of you when im asleep
and when i wake i'll wait for you,
your loving wife, your luma-lou.
