Poems

When You Feel Lonely

When You feel Lonely,
When a person you love passes away,
Look to the night sky on a clear day.

The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,Looking upon you during the night.

The lights of heaven are what shows through,
As your loved one watches all that you do.

When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

I Did Not Die

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’s rain,
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,

Of quiet birds 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.

I Heard Your Voice In The Wind Today

I heard your voice in the wind today,
and I turned to see your face;
The warmth of the wind caressed me,
as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun today,
as its warmth filled the sky;
I closed my eyes for your embrace,
and my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window pane,
as I watched the falling rain;
It seemed as each raindrop fell,
it quietly said your name.

I held you close in my heart today,
it made me feel complete;
You may have died… but you are not gone,
you will always be a part of me.

As long as the sun shines…,
the wind blows…,
the rain falls…,
You will live on inside of me forever

I Thought Of You Today

I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday and days before that too,
I think of you in silence I often speak your name,
All I have are memories and your picture in a frame,
Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part,
God has you in His keeping I have you in my heart.

A Million Times

You never said I’m leaving,
You never said good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why,
A million times we’ve needed you,
A million times we’ve cried.

If love alone could’ve saved you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place,
No one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone.

Part of us went with you,
The day God took you home,
I’m Going To Tell You Something,
I’m going to tell you something,
I hope you’ll never have to know.

Ill tell you how a heart can break,
and tears can constant flow.

I lost my baby girl you see,
an angel in my eyes,
The lord reached right down, took her hand,
and led her to the skies.

Please don’t ever tell me,
that time will heal my pain,
because not even time,
will bring her back again.

Please do not forget my child,
she was a person too,
forever she will live,
inside of me and you.

Just tell me that’s she’s happy,
in that land way up above,
she’s snuggled in an angels wings,
wrapped in mummy daddy’s love.

Prayers

Memorare

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

Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto Thee,
O Virgin of Virgins. My Mother!

To Thee I come, before Thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

Oh Mother of the Word incarnate,despise not my petitions,
but in Thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee:,
blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, forever.

Amen.

O’Gentlest Heart

O gentlest heart of Jesus,
Ever present in the Blessed Sacrament,
Ever consumed with burning love,
For the poor captive souls,
Have mercy on the soul of thy departed servant.

Be not sever in Thy judgment

But let some drops of Thy Precious Blood,
Fall upon the devouring flames,
And do Thou O Merciful Saviour,
Send Thy angels to conduct thy departed servant,
To a place of refreshment, Light and peace.

Amen

Resurrection Prayer

Most merciful Father,
we commend our departed into your hands. We are filled with the sure hope that our departed will rise again on the,
Last Day with all who have died in Christ.

We thank you for all the good things,
you have given during our,
departed's earthly life.

O Father, in your great mercy,
accept our prayer that the Gates of Paradise may be opened for your servant.

In our turn, may we too be comforted,
by the words of faith until we greet Christ,
in glory and are united with you,
and our departed.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

We Give Them Back

We give them back to you, O Lord,
who first gave them to us;
yet as you did not lose them in the giving,
so we do not lose them by their return . . .

For what is yours is ours also,
if we belong to you.

Love is unending, and the boundary,
of this mortal life is but a horizon,
and a horizon is nothing,
save the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, strong Son of God,
that we may see more clearly . . .

And while you prepare a place for us,
prepare us also for that happy place,
that we may be with you,
and with those we loved for evermore.

Hail, Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.

To you we cry, the children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this land of exile.

Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
lead us home at last,
and show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus:,
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

St. Michael the Archangel,
Defend us in battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness,
and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
And do thou, O Prince of the heavenly house,
By the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits,
Who wander through the world,
for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

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 will dwell in,
the house of the Lord forever.

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek
his face always.
