A silent grief that's in our hearts
No human eye can trace,
For many a broken heart is hidden
Beneath a smiling face.
When I must leave you
for a little while,
Please do not grieve
and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow
to you through the years.
But start out bravely
with a gallant smile;
And for my sake and in
my name,
Live on and do all things the same,
Feed not your loneliness
on empty days,
But fill each waking hour
in useful ways,
Reach out your hand
in comfort and in cheer,
And I in turn will comfort you
and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die,
For I am waiting
for you in the sky!

Verse 3
She never failed to do her best,
Her heart was true and tender,
She worked and toiled for those she
loved,
And left them to remember.
A loving father most sincere
Loved by all he knew
He loved us all so very dear,
And we all loved him too.
But God in His mercy will give us hope,
And help us bear the strain,
Of the one we cherished, loved and lost,
To meet in Heaven again.
We sat beside your bedside
Our hearts were crushed and sore.
We did our duty to the end
'Til we could do no more.
In a near and silent graveyard,
Where the trees their branches wave,
Sleeps a kind and loving father,
In his cold and lonely grave.
He bade no-one a last farewell,
He raised his hand to none;
His spirit flew before we knew,
That he from us had gone.
In tears we watched you sinking
We watched you fade away,
And though our hearts were
breaking
We knew you could not stay.
You can only have one father,
Patient, kind and true.
No other friend in all the world,
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you,
To father you will return,
For all his loving kindness,
He asks nothing in return.
You left behind some aching hearts
That loved you most sincere.
We never shall and never will
Forget you Mother dear.
As we look upon his picture
Sweet memories we recall,
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all
Sweet Jesus take this message,
To our dear father up above,
Tell him how much we miss him
And give him all our love.
Verse 4
Verse 5
A bouquet of beautiful memories,
Sprayed with a million tears,
Wishing God could have spared you
If just for a few more years.
It does not take a special day,
For us to think of you
Each Mass we hear, each prayer we say,
Is offered up for you.
All I ask
of you is that
wherever you
may be you will
always remember
me at the
Altar of God.

We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.
May he rest in peace dear Jesus,
In Thy Heavenly home above,
With the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
In His Own Eternal Love.
Along the road to yesterday,
That leads us straight to you,
Are memories of happy days,
Together we once knew.
God grant me
the Serenity to
Accept the things
I cannot change...
Courage to change
the things I can, and
Wisdom to know
the difference.
Verse 6
