SCRIPTED & SPECIALTY FONTS Scripted & Specialty fonts are not as easy to read and should be used sparingly. These fonts are used to highlight important information, such as your loved one’s name and maybe titles of poems or prayers used. Of course this does come down to personal preference and sometimes our clients do want to use a beautiful scripted font for the whole card. There is nothing wrong with this, as the effect is beautiful, our recommendation is purely based on the ease of readability.

LOVING MEMORIES

Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present.

Your gentle face and patient smile With sadness we recall You had a kindly word for each And died beloved by all

What the caterpillar perceives is the end; to the butterfly is just the beginning.

The voice is mute and stilled the heart That loved us well and true, Ah, bitter was the trial to part From one so good as you.

You are not forgotten loved one Nor will you ever be As long as life and memory last We will remember thee.

We miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by we miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your vacant place.

Everything that has a beginning has an ending.

Make your peace with that and all will be well.

Buddhist Saying

During the time of sorrow we learn how much our friends really mean to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness and sympathy at a time when it was deeply appreciated.

All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last.

There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand, do it now, while life remaineth– you shall rest in God’s own land.

Bella Jane Murphy 10 October 2010 to 20 November 2011

Little Angels When God calls little children to dwell with Him above, We mortals sometime question t he wisdom of His love.

For no heartache compares with t he 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 To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.

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

Words cannot express how grateful our family is for your generous support, encouraging words, and thoughts and prayers.

Memorare Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, We fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do we come, before thee we stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer them.

Amen.

Rebecca Jones August 29, 1980 ~ October 5, 2013

Early Death She passed away like morning dew Before the sun was high; So brief her time, she scarcely knew The meaning of a sigh.

As round the rose its soft perfume, Sweet love around her floated; Admired she grew-while mortal doom Crept on, unfeared, unnoted.

Love was her guardian Angel here, But Love to Death resigned her; Though Love was kind, why should we fear But holy Death is kinder?

Hartley Coleridge writer and poet (1796 - 1849)

Thank You for your words of sympathy, Your voice of Concern, your gesture of Caring, and the Love you offer.

COMMON CATHOLIC PRAYERS Please note the Number and Name of which prayer you would like to use.

Below you will find the most common catholic prayers, the Catholic Church teaches that we should pray not only directly to God, but also to those who are close to God, those who have the power to intercede upon our behalf.

Indeed, we pray to the angels to help and watch over us; we pray to the saints in heaven to ask their intercession and assistance; we pray to the Blessed Mother to enlist her aid, to ask her to beg her Son to hear our prayers.

Further, we pray not only on our own behalf, but also on the behalf of those souls in purgatory and of those brothers on earth who are in need.

You will also find below special prayers for all denominations including Christian, Protestant, Jewish, Episcopal and Methodist. We hope that the words will provide comfort and hope at this difficult time.

He descended into Hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Amen.

CCP-4A The Lord Is My Shepherd Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths For His Name's sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; For you are with me; Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil; My cup overows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life.

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord My whole life long.

[Psalm 23:1-6; NRSV]

PRAYER NUMBER 1 Twenty-Third Psalm The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

PRAYER NUMBER 2 Safely Home I am home in heaven, dear ones; oh, so happy and so bright!

There is a perfect joy and beauty in the everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, safely home in heaven at last.

There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand, do it now, while life remaineth– you shall rest in God’s own land.

When that work is all completed, He will gently call you home; oh, the rapture of that meeting oh, the joy to see you come!

PRAYER NUMBER 3 Afterglow I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one, I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.

I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.

I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave behind when day is done.

Helen Lowrie Marshall

PRAYER NUMBER 4 Broken Chain We little knew 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 by 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.

PRAYER NUMBER 5 May You Always Walk In Sunshine May you always walk in sunshine and God’s around you flow, for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, a part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

A million times we needed you, a million times we’ve cried.

If love could only have saved you, you never would have died.

The Lord be with you and may you rest in peace.

PRAYER NUMBER 6 Miss Me When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free!

Miss me a little, but not too long, and not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once shared, miss me but let me go.

For this journey we all must take, and each must go alone.

It’s all part of the Master plan, a step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

PRAYER NUMBER 7 I’m Free Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free; I took His hand when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all.

If my parting has left a void; then fill it with remembered joy.

My life’s been full, I savored much; good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss; ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and share with me; God wanted me now, He set me free.

PRAYER NUMBER 8 Life is but a stopping place Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what’s to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys, different paths along the way, we all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place far greater than we know, for some, the journey’s quicker, for some the journey’s slow.

And when the journey finally ends, we’ll claim a great reward, and find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.

PRAYER NUMBER 9 If Tears Could Build A Stairwell If tears could build a stairwell and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye...

You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still ow, What it means to lose you no one will ever know.

PRAYER NUMBER 10 God Looked Around His 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.

God's garden must be beautiful He always takes the best.

He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So 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.

My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much: Good times, good friends, a loved-one’s touch.

1. Footprints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. he noticed that many time along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it.

“Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.

I don’t understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My son, my precious child, I love you and would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

2. Joyce Kilmer The bugle echoes shrill and sweet, But not of war it sings to-day.

The road is rhythmic with the feet Of men-at-arms who come to pray.

The roses blossom white and red On tombs where weary soldiers lie; Flags wave above the honoured dead And martial music cleaves the sky.

Above their wreath-strewn graves we kneel, They kept the faith and fought the fight.

Through flying lead and crimson steel They plunged for Freedom and the Right.

May we, their grateful children, learn Their strength, who lie beneath this sod, Who went through fire and death to earn At last the accolade of God. In shining rank on rank arrayed They march, the legions of the Lord; He is their Captain unafraid, The Prince of Peace . . .

Who brought a sword.

3. To My Dear and Loving Husband Anne Bradstreet If ever two were one, then surely we.

If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye women, if you can.

I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, Or all the riches that the East doth hold.

My love is such that rivers cannot quench, Nor aught by love from thee give recompense.

Thy love is such I can no way reply; The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.

Then while we live, in love let's so persever, That when we live no more we may live ever.

4. Funeral Blues W. H. Auden Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead.

Put crepe bows round the white necks of public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West.

My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last forever; I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood; For nothing now can ever come to any good.

5. My Mother’s Garden My Mother kept a garden, A garden of the heart.

She planted all the good things That gave my life its start.

She turned me to the sunshine And encouraged me to dream, Fostering and nurturing The seeds of self-esteem.

And when the winds and rains came She protected me enough, But not too much, she new I’d need To stand up strong and tough.

Her constant good example Always taught me right from wrong Markers for my pathway That will last a lifetime long.

I am my Mother’s garden, I am her legacy.

And I hope today she feels the love Reflected back from me.

7. Turn Again to Life Mary Lee Hall If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone, who keep long vigil by the silent dust.

For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine.

Complete these dear unďŹ nished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you.

8. Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow Love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled, as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

9. Little Angels (2) (Change the name, age and gender for your own situation) God sent an angel to the earth...

The sweetest angel too and for such a tiny little thing, she had so much to do.

She knew she did not have much time upon this earth to stay, so she did not waste a second; she got started right away.

Her eyes were bright and sparkly, she took in every turn.

She did not miss a single thing, because Angel came to learn!

God sent her here to touch the hearts of those He could not reach...

She taught them courage, strength and faith, because Angel came to teach.

Her tiny little body was so full of God above, you felt it when you held her, because Angel came to love.

In eleven short months she managed what many never will.

When she went home to Jesus, her purpose was fulfilled.

She learned and taught, loved and played, she learned her lessons well.

I know He was so proud of her when she went home to dwell.

But when I miss her oh so much, I can almost hear Him say, “Please understand, her work was done...

Angel did not come to stay.”

10. To Those I Love Isla Paschal Richardson If I should ever leave you, Whom I love To go along the silent way…

Grieve not.

Nor speak of me with tears.

But laugh and talk of me As if I were beside you there.

(I'd come… I'd come, Could I but find a way!

But would not tears and And grief be barriers?)

And when you hear a song Or see a bird I loved, Please do not let the thought of me Be sad… for I am loving you Just as I always have…

You were so good to me!

There are so many things I wanted still to do…

So many things I wanted to say to you… Remember that I did not fear… It was Just leaving you That was so hard to face.

We cannot see beyond…

But this I know: I loved you so… 'twas heaven here with you!

11. Crossing the Bar Alfred Lord Tennyson Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness or farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The ood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.

12. If Rudyard Kipling If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream-and not make dreams your master; If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop to build’em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And, which is more — you’ll be a Man, my son!

13. Love Lives On Those we love are never really lost to us— we feel them in so many special ways: through friends they always cared about and dreams they left behind, in beauty that they added to our days, in words of wisdom we still carry with us and memories that never will be gone.

Those we love are never really lost to us— for everywhere their special love lives on.

16. Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night Dylan Thomas Do not go gently into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in ight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your ďŹ erce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

17. Dirge Without Music Edna St. Vincent Millay I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.

So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind: Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned With lilies and with laurel they go but I am not resigned.

Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.

Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.

A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew, A formula, a phrase remains, but the best is lost.

The answers quick and keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love, They are gone. They are gone to feed the roses.

Elegant and curled Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know.

But I do not approve.

More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.

I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

18. If Death is Kind Sara Teasdale Perhaps if death is kind, and there can be returning, We will come back to earth some fragrant night, And take these lanes to ďŹ nd the sea, and bending Breathe the same honeysuckle, low and white.

We will come down at night to these resounding beaches And the long gentle thunder of the sea, Here for a single hour in the wide starlight We shall be happy, for the dead are free.

19. The White Chariot Julie Johnson During your journey on your final flight home.

White wings will carry you and you will be flown.

To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.

To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.

He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.

As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

20. Don’t Grieve For Me Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free, I’m following the path God laid for me.

I took his hand when I heard his call, I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My Life’s been full, I savoured much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

21. God’s Garden God looked around his garden And he found an empty place.

And then he looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you, And lifted you to rest.

God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering, He knew 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 were hard to climb.

So 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.

23. Letting Go of You Jenna Leigh Walters I know I have to let you go.

How I will I do not know.

I know that it's your time to die.

What I don't know is how to say goodbye.

I'll miss you so much I don't know what to do.

I guess I'll just end this poem with a goodbye and an I love you.

22. Gone From My Sight Henry Van Dyke I am standing upon the seashore.

A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.

She is an object of beauty and strength.

I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says; "There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all.

She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!"

There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout; "Here she comes!"

And that is dying.

24. The Broken Chain We little knew 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.

25. I Did Not Die Mary E. Frye 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 quiet white doves 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.

27. In Flanders Fields Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

28. Requiem Robert Louis Stevenson Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie.

Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you gave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill.

26. All is Well Cannon H. Scott Holland Death is just an open door I have only slipped away into the next room.

I am I, and you are you.

Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.

Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant. it is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near; safe and secure, all is well.

29. What Is This Thing That Man Call Death Gordon B. Hinckley What is this thing that men call death, This quiet passing in the night?

'Tis not the end, but genesis Of better worlds and greater light.

O God, touch thou my aching heart, And calm my troubled, haunting fears.

Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure, Give strength and peace beyond my tears.

There is no death, but only change, With recompense for vict'ry won.

The gift of Him who loved all men, The Son of God, the Holy One. 30. I Have A Rendezvous With Death Alan Seeger I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade When Spring comes round with rustling shade And apple blossoms fill the air.

I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath; It may be I shall pass him still.

I have a rendezvous with Death On some scarred slope of battered hill, When Spring comes round again this year And the first meadow flowers appear.

God knows ’twere better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down, Where love throbs out in blissful sleep, Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath, Where hushed awakenings are dear . . .

But I’ve a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.

31. Miss Me But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little - but not too long, and not with your head held low Remember the love that we once shared.

Miss me - but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take, and each must go alone It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, a step on the road to home.

32. Your Life Was Full of Loving Deeds Your life was full of loving deeds, Forever thoughtful of our special needs, Today and tomorrow, my whole life through, I will always love and cherish you 33. Old Irish Toast May you have food and raiment, A soft pillow for your head, May you be forty years in heaven Before the devil knows you're dead.

34. To Sleep John Keats O soft embalmer of the still midnight, Shutting, with careful fingers and benign, Our gloom-pleas’d eyes, embower’d from the light, Enshaded in forgetfulness divine: O soothest Sleep! if so it please thee, close In midst of this thine hymn my willing eyes, Or wait the "Amen," ere thy poppy throws Around my bed its lulling charities.

Then save me, or the passed day will shine Upon my pillow, breeding many woes,– Save me from curious Conscience, that still lords Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole; Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards, And seal the hushed Casket of my Soul.

37. A Prayer Heavenly Father hear my prayer, Guide our Father with tender care, Dear shepherd don't leave him alone, Love him in heaven, as we do at home.

38. Remember Christina Georgina Rossetti Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more, day by day, You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that I once had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.

35. In Memory Joyce Kilmer Serene and beautiful and very wise, Most erudite in curious Grecian lore, You lay and read your learned books, and bore A weight of unshed tears and silent sighs.

The song within your heart could never rise Until love bade it spread its wings and soar.

Nor could you look on Beauty’s face before A poet’s burning mouth had touched your eyes.

Love is made out of ecstasy and wonder; Love is a poignant and accustomed pain.

It is a burst of Heaven-shaking thunder; It is a linnet’s fluting after rain.

Love’s voice is through your song; above and under And in each note to echo and remain.

A red rose is His Sacred Heart, a white rose is His face, And His breath has turned the barren world to a rich and flowery place.

He is the Rose of Sharon, His gardener am I, And I shall drink His fragrance in Heaven when I die.

36. The Road Not Taken Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference.

39. Little Angels (1) 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 To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.

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
