In Memoriam to Friends

1.
Words are few, thoughts are deep,
Memories of you I will always keep.


2.
He would not wish for tears or fuss,
Just to be remembered by us.


3.
You left a place no one can fill,
We miss you so and always will.


4.
A bouquet of flowers just for you,
Sprinkled with teardrops instead of dew,
Placed in the centre a forget-me-not,
To say we love and miss you a lot.


5.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.


6.
We do not lose the ones we love,
They only go before,
Where there is everlasting life,
Where sorrow is no more.
There the soul will always live,
And peace is everywhere,
We do not lose the ones we love,
God takes them in His care.


7.
Silent thoughts of times together,
Memories that will last forever.


8.
Ours is just a simple prayer,
God bless and keep you in His care.


9.
This day comes with sad regret,
Brings back a day we shall never forget,
You closed your eyes without goodbye,
But in our hearts you will never die.


10.
God saw you were weary,
He did what He thought best,
He took you in His loving arms,
And whispered, 'Come to rest'.


11.
If he could have spoken before he left,
These are the words he would have said,
'Don't weep for me, courage take,
And love each other for my sake.'


12.
Just a tribute, true and tender,
Just to show we will remember.


13.
Cherished memories of one so dear,
Treasured forever with love sincere.


14.
Time unfolds another year,
But memories keep you ever near.


15.
To us you were someone special,
What more is there to say,
We only wish with all our hearts,
That you were here today.


16.
Your name we often mention,
Our thoughts are with you still,
You haven't been forgotten,
What's more you never will.


17. A special smile, a special face,
A special someone we can not replace,
A special one in the garden of rest,
The saying is true, God chooses the best.


18.
Put your arms around him Lord,
Give him all Your care,
Make up for all he suffered,
And all that seemed unfair.


19.
Miss you in a million ways,
With you I spent some happy days,
Wishing today as I've wished before,
God could have spared you a few years more.


20.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
Part of me went with you,
The day God called you home.
A million times I've needed you,
A million times I've cried,
If loving could have saved you,
You never would have died.
Forgive me, Lord, I'll always weep,
For someone I loved but couldn't keep.


21.
Heartaches in this world are many,
But losing you was greatest of any.


22.
No farewell was spoken,
We never said goodbye,
You were gone so quickly,
And only God knows why.


23.
Life is not measured by the years you live,
But the love and things that you did,
This day is remembered and silently kept,
From the hearts who loved you and never forget.


24.
Not just today but every day we remember,
Not our will but Thy will, oh Lord.


25.
Gone are the faces we loved so dear,
Silent the voices we loved to hear,
Deep in our hearts their memories are kept,
We loved them too dearly to ever forget.
