FUNERAL POEMS
GODS' GARDEN
God looked around his garden and found an empty place
He then looked down upon the Earth and saw your tired face
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest
With the help of his angels they flew you to your heavenly place
Gods garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best
He knew you were suffering, he We kknew you were in pain
He knew that you would never get well on Earth again
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills too hard to climb
He closed your weary eyelids and whispered 'Peace be Thine'
It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.

We little new that morning that 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 peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though 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.

It's a Time of Heartfelt Sadness
It's a time of heartfelt sadness
When a loved one passes on
But know your loved one lives in joy
And peace where he (or she) has gone
Oh how much he will be missed
That's where the sadness lies
But others who have missed him
now rejoice in Heaven's skies
We know one day we'll join him
Because our time on earth will flee
We'll then live with him forever
Throughtout all eternity.

Don't Weep
Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
to dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind
Please don't weep for me.
How can I live
What am I to do
Now a part of my heart,
Is buried with you?

Matthew 6: 19-21 Treasures in Heaven

destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do
not break in and steal. For where your treasure ism, there your heart will be also.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Psalm 23 A Psalm of David
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quite waters.
He restores my soul,
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
Your prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You annoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
---------------------------------------------------
Isaiah 57: 1-2
The righteous perish,
and no one ponders it in his heart;
devout men are taken away
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.
Those who walk uprightly enter into peace;
they find rest as they le in death.

Little Angles
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye".
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.
