In Loving Memory Poems
Eternity we’ll share
because of God’s love –
Reunited someday
in Heaven above.
Think of the memories
we’ll make again there –
It will be wonderful
eternity we’ll share.
–
I know I am still with you, in your
prayers, your thoughts, your heart –
And though you cannot see me
I will always be a part.
Of life’s sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect –
On how, though things are different
through our love, we still connect.
We’ll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free –
Until then, I am with you
because you remember me.
–
Broken is the family circle
our dear one has passed away –
Passed from this earthly darkness
into a 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.
–
Its years since
you’ve been gone –
But in our hearts
you still live on.
–
We little knew that day
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 –
For part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories
your love is still our guide –
And although we cannot see you
you are always at 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.
–
From our happy home and circle
God has taken one we loved –
She is borne from sin and sorrow
to a nobler rest above.
No one knows how much we miss her
none but aching hearts can tell
Lost on earth but found in Heaven
Jesus doeth all things well.
–
There is a family who misses you
and finds time long since you went –
We think of you daily and hourly
but try to be brave and content.
Tears that we shed are in silence
and we breathe a sigh of regret –
For you were ours and we remember
though all the world forget.
–
We often think of bygone days
when we were all together –
The family chain is broken now
but memories will live forever.
To us, she/he has not gone away
nor has she/he traveled far –
Just entered God’s eternal home
and left the gate ajar.
–
For many years the family chain
was closely linked together –
But, oh, that chain is broken now
the main link gone forever.
The sunshine of our happy home
must always clouded be –
But Thou O Lord has sent his cross
we bear it all for thee.
–
His life earnest
his actions kind –
A willing hand
and active mind.
Anxious to please
loath to offend –
A loving brother
and faithful friend.
–
You are not forgotten
nor ever will you be –
As long as life and memory lasts
we will remember thee.
–
Life seemed to mean
so much before –
It’s not important
anymore.
The strength to face
the daily tasks –
Till I am with you
is all I ask.
–
We long for household voices gone
for vanished smiles we long –
God has taken our loved one on
and He can do no wrong.
–
Resting where
no shadows fall –
In peaceful sleep
he awaits us all.
God will link
the broken chain –
When one by one
we meet again.
–
From our happy home and circle
God has taken one we love –
Borne away from sin and sorrow
to a better land above.
