Softly in the morning
You heard a gentle call,
You took the hand God offered you,
And quietly left us all.
The day you left us mother,
Our hearts just broke in two,
The smallest part is still with us,
And the biggest part with you.
For the rest of our lives
we will miss you mother,
Our secret tears still flow,
Oh, how we really loved you,
No one will ever know.
We miss your smile, your joking ways,
We miss the things, you used to say,
And when old times we do recall
It's then we miss you most of all.
You were always there when we needed you
No task too great or small,
With loving heart and willing hands,
For us you did it all.
Road To Eternity
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.
Look around Your garden Lord,
And when she turns and smiles,
Put Your arms around her
And hold her for awhile.
But when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.
Verse 31
Verse 32
His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years.
Think how we must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him, as living
in the hearts of those he touched. . .
for nothing loved is ever lost and he was loved so much.
Verse 33
Prayer to St. Joseph
May the Lord
support us all the day long till
the shadows lengthen,
and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hushed,
and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done.
Then, in His mercy, may He
give us a safe lodging, a Holy
Rest, and peace at the last.
Cardinal John Henry Newman
Verse 34
Oh! St. Joseph, whose protection is
so great, so strong, so prompt before
the throne of God, I place in you
all my interests and desires Oh!
St. Joseph do assist me by your powerful
intercession, and obtain for me from Your
divine Son, all spiritual blessings, through
Jesus Christ, our Lord So that having
engaged here below Your Heavenly power,
I may offer my thanks giving and homage
to the most loving of Fathers. Oh! St. Joseph,
I never weary of contemplating you, and
Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not
approach while He reposes near your heart.
Press Him in my name and kiss His fine
head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss
when I draw my dying breath St. Joseph,
Patron of departing souls. Pray for me.
Verse 35
As you hold me close in memory,
Even though we are apart
My spirit will live on
There within your heart.
I am with you always.
When you lean on trusted friends
And their caring hugs enfold you
Within their loving arms
I’ll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.
And beyond the far horizon,
When we’ll finally be together,
Where love will be eternal
And life will last forever,
I am with you always.
Verse 36
