The Path - In Loving Memory Poems


The Path

(In Loving Memory Poems)

You leave behind such memories
That loved ones will hold dear
They’ll take them down the path of life
Though that path may seem unclear.

It’s missing that bright sunny warmth
And those skies of blue
That always seemed to be there
When they walked that path with you.

Today they gather together
As you watch them from above
And learn to walk a new life path
Now lit with just your love.

They start out with uncertainty
It’s not the path they knew
When they walked life’s path before
Hand in Hand with you.

Your light will never really fade
It gets brighter every day
As you lead them down the path
And you show them the way.

So guide them with a gentle hand
Down that Path Unknown
And help them through the twists and turns
As they make their way back home.

Those last few steps may be quite hard
And difficult to bare
But the path ends at Heaven’s Gate
And they will find you there.

So begin your journey today my friends
Keep pushing through the pain
He waits for you at Heaven’s Gates
And you will be together again

When All The Words Have Been Said

When All The Words Have Been Said

(Memorial Poems)

When all the words have been said,
And all the ministering has been done,
When there’s nothing left to say
And the battle has been lost or won.

When death has stolen the one you love,
And you’ll hear their voice no more,
When a remembered smile is a treasure
And agony lives within your core.

When the desolation engulfs you,
And a tear wanders down your cheek,
When the loneliness steals your breath
And you’re left burdened and weak.

When life has lost its’ meaning,
And the heartache rips your breast,
When your mind is numb with pain
And you’re enduring this terrible test.

When it seems the hurting will never end,
And you’ve nothing left to give,
When the warm morning sun leaves you cold
And you see no reason to live.

Rage not at God in Heaven,
O’er the anguish you feel today.
For when all the words have been said,
Only His love can ease your way.

Memories Sweet Memories - In Loving Memory Poems

Memories Sweet Memories

(In Loving Memory Poems)

Twilight draws ever closer

Through the window pane;

I look to heaven in hopes to see

Your smiling face again.

Memories, sweet memories

Are what keep you near;

These I treasure with all my heart…

I hold them all so dear.

Remembering the love we shared

And how it was taken away;

We never got to say goodbye

On that fateful day.

One day we’ll be together again…

As I gaze up to the sky,

I thought that I could see you there,

Learning how to fly.
