Sacred Urn

This urn, to me, is sacred  for there inside contains the ashes of one I love. Precious last remains.   Container number two is one that no one sees. This urn holds the ashes. My heart, the memories.

Sad & Glad

  Though my heart is full of sadness, I have thoughts of gladness too. Two emotions, both from love, and in my heart for you.   I’m sad that you have passed away, but glad you’re pain is gone. I’m sad because I’ll miss you so, yet glad that you live on.   I’m sad...

Slipping Away

  I think now I’m ready to go. I feel the time is right. My spirit is slowly slipping away. I won’t last the night.   I’ve lived my life and done my best to honor God above. I’ve raised a family as best I could. We’ve shared tremendous love.   I...

Smile

  Goodbye family and friends. My soul has taken flight. I’m entering the spirit world and, oh what a beautiful sight.   Had I but imagined the beauty and love that is here, I would have came more willingly, and of death I’d have no fear.   Happiness...

Somewhere

Somewhere, in another place beyond this atmosphere; Someone’s waiting for me. …Someone very dear. A place where peace and beauty are well beyond compare. A place where love will live again. Somehow, Sometime,...

Sprinkles

God sprinkles Angels on the earth from heaven up above, to live among us day by day and teach us how to love.   To keep their little secret safe they leave their wings behind. And lucky are the families here to which they are assigned.   You thought you had us fooled,...

Teardrops & Rainbows

    When sorrow comes into our lives and tears of sadness fall, they never go unnoticed, God sees them one and all.     Our tears are very precious In the eyes of our dear Lord, He calls them up to special clouds where they are safely stored....

Tears of Joy

Now I lay me down to sleep. Those who loved me mourn and weep. Time on earth has come and gone. Yet in spirit I live on. I awaken and behold Heaven with its streets of gold. Such beauty, peace and love I see. Shed but tears of joy for...

The Dash Between

by Ron Tranmer©   I knelt there at the headstone of one I love and cried. Name, with dates of birth and death were perfectly inscribed.   I pondered these two dates and how little they both mean when compared to the tiny dash that lies there in between.   The...

The Departed Ship

    It sailed into the sunset on a glass-like sea of blue. The distance growing further ‘till it disappeared from view.   Another watching near me softly whispered, “She is gone”. But in our hearts, though unseen, we knew the ship sailed on.   For...

Thou Art God

    Though hard to understand, Lord, why our child had to die… our faith will not be shaken, and we will not ask Thee why.   Our hearts are filled with sorrow and our pain is very real, but we fully trust Thy wisdom and shall question not Thy will....

Too Late

  You walked slowly to my casket
 and looked down with saddened eyes.
 The words of love you whispered
 really took me by surprise.   I didn’t know you felt about me
 as you just implied.
 I wish I’d heard these words of love long before I died.   Why did you...

Treasured Memories

  Memories are little treasures which we store inside our brain, to keep a loved one in our heart ‘til they’re in our arms again.

Treasured Memories

Treasured are the memories of loved ones who are gone. For memories are the magic that keeps them living on.

Treasured Moments

  I treasure every moment you spent in life with me. I hoped to have you longer, but it’s not meant to be.   You left this world so suddenly. I think my heart went too. I have an empty feeling and I’m lonely without you.   My life has lost all...

Troubled Heart

  When you took your life we felt ours ended too. If we could only turn back time there’s much we would undo.   We didn’t see the warning signs. You held them deep inside. Struggles you were going through you did so well to hide.   We’re left with guilt and...

When You Think Of Me

  Let it be, when you think of me, you think not of the dead, but know that I am living and wait for you instead.   Forget about my body lying deeply in the ground. It will turn to ashes, but I am still around.   Think of one who loves you, and will...

Without Fear

My life on earth is ending, and soon I will be gone. But I lie here, without fear knowing I’ll live on.   There is a God in heaven who is waiting there for me. Because of Christ, His Son, I know I’ll live eternally.   My life was full and happy and I was...

Your Picture

  When I am sad and missing you, I see your picture here. Your smile brings such comfort and reminds me you are near.   Oh how much I miss you, and long to be by your side. I look at your picture often, ever since the day you died.   A picture is worth...
