Religious Verses (Long)
RL01
They are not gone
These loved ones whom
We mourn.
We must not think of them
As far away.
Into a fuller life have
They been born.
Laying aside the vesture
Of this clay.
Yet near us still they watch
And love and know;
We are the blind ones
Who no longer see
Familiar forms
That we so dearly loved,
Waiting reunion
In eternity.
RL02
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,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories last forever.
It was a sudden parting.
Too bitter to forget,
Only those who loved you.
Are the ones who will never forget.
RL03
Don’t think of her 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.
RL04
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 quite 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.
RL05
May he rest in peace, dear Jesus.
In Thy heavenly home above,
With the sacred Heart of Jesus,
In His Own Eternal Love,
Along the road to yesterday,
That Leads us straight to you.
Are memories of happy days,
Together we once knew.
The blow was hard, the shock severe,
To part with one we loved so dear,
Our loss is great, we’ll not complain,
But thrust in God to meet again.
A silent grief that’s in our hearts,
No human eye can trace,
For many a broken heart is hid,
Beneath a smiling face.
RL06

Sprayed with a million tears.

When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories last forever.

Too bitter to forget,
