Memorial Poems

 

Wedding Poem                                                          Do not stand at my grave and weep,                                      When I am gone, release me – let me go                                                                          

Although we can't see you                                     Do not stand at my grave and weep,                                          When I am gone, release me - let me go.                       
We know that you are here                                     I am not there, I did not sleep.                                                    I have so many things to see and do.                              
Smiling down, Watching over us                           I am a thousand winds that blow,                                            You must not tie yourself  to me with tears                      
As we say "I do."                                                       I am the diamond glints on snow.                                             Be happy that we had so many years.                            
Forever in our hearts                                               I am the sunlight on ripened grain.                                            I gave you love, you can only guess,                                
Forever in our lives                                                  I am the gentle autumn rain.                                                        how much you gave me in happiness
and so we say our vows                                        When you awaken in the morning's hush                                 I thank you for the love each have shown,
in loving memory of you,                                         I am the swift uplifting rush                                                         but now it is time I traveled alone
                                                                                    Of quiet birds in circled flight.                                                     So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
                                                                                     I am the soft starts that shine at night.                                     Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
                                                                                     Do not stand at my grave and cry:                                              It is only for a while that we must part
                                                                                     I am not there, I did not die.                                                         so bless those memories within your heart.
                                                                                            Mary Elizabeth Frye                                                                I will not be far away, for life goes on.
                                                                                                                                                                                                So if you need me, call and I will come.
                                                                                                                                                                                                Though you cannot see or touch me,
                                                                                                                                                                                                I will be near. And if you listen with your
                                                                                                                                                                                                 heart. you will hear all my love
                                                                                                                                                                                                around you, soft and clear. Then when
                                                                                                                                                                                               You must come this  way alone, I will greet
                                                                                                                                                                                                You with a smile and "Welcome Home".
   
                                                                                 

The 23rd Psalm                                                                                      I lift my eyes to the hills

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want                                          I lift my eyes to the hills --- 
He makes me lie down in green pastures,                                        Where does my help come from?
He leads me beside quiet waters,                                                       My help comes from the Lord,   
He restores my soul.                                                                               The Maker of heaven and earth.
He guides me in paths of righteousness                                            He will not let your foot slip -- 
for His name's sake.                                                                                He who watches over you
Even though I walk through                                                                    will not slumber,  
the Valley of the Shadow of Death,                                                        Indeed, he who watches over Israel
I will fear no evil,                                                                                        will neither slumber nor sleep.
For you are with me,                                                                                The Lord watches over you --
Your rod and your staff,                                                                            The sun will not harm you by day,
they comfort me                                                                                        Nor the moon by night,
You prepare a table before me                                                            The Lord will keep you from all harm --
In the presence of my enemies.                                                            He will watch over your life;
You anoint my head with oil,                                                                   The Lord will watch over
My cup overflows.                                                                                      Your coming and going
Surely goodness and love                                                                       Both now and forevermore
Will follow me all the days of my life,                                                    Psalm 121
And I will dwell in the house
Of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23

 

He heard the call                                                                            When I am called to serve                                          His Last Parade

He heard the call                                                                            When I am called to serve, Dear Lord                      The weight of him on our shoulders,
And answered it brave and true;                                                  Wherever war may be,                                                 The faint whiff of gunpowder smoulders, 
"I'll be a man to do or die;                                                              Give me courage to fight the battles                         It's almost as if my lead bearing heart,
I'm going to help them through."                                                 My country may ask of me                                            Would stop with this solemn task.  
The Great Commander has written his name;                        Grace me with your presence,                                    We step in, out, in, out,
On the roll of him who gave;                                                        And know that I love You.                                              These timings are not a shout,
His Only Begotten Son;                                                                While I fight the enemy,                                                 To the tune of the bagpipes playing,
And died that we might live.                                                         My country needs me to.                                               To attention he is marching, laying.
He paid his debt to his country;                                                  Help me protect my comrades,                                   Our arms underneath him for support,
In the fight for right he has won;                                                  As You expect me to                                                       To take him to his last call of port,
And the King of Kings has spoken:                                            And keep me in your loving hands                              No longer will he be a trencher,
"Thou faithful one, well done."                                                     While I do what I must do.                                             As the padre swings his golden censer.
                                                                                                           I want to do my duty                                                        The memories of him will never fade,
                                                                                                            And to give the best in me,                                           As he is carried to his last parade,
                                                                                                            To do what I've been called to do                                He has fought in line with his brothers,
                                                                                                            And protect our liberty                                                    And today says goodbye to his lovers.
                                                                                                            And if according to Your will                                           We raise a glass to his name,
                                                                                                            I must give up my life,                                                    Because he lived without any shame,
                                                                                                            Please bless with your protecting hand                    Now in peace he lies in restful sleep,
                                                                                                            My children and my wife,                                               And for him we shall forever weep.
                                                                                                                        Fred White
