Zequatanil Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Beloved Rev. Rainbow--There are no words sufficient to ease the sorrow of the heart of such tragedy . My prayers go up for you and your family in this most painful of times.Do not stand at my grave and weepDo not stand at my grave and weepI 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 rain.When you awaken in the morning's hushI am the swift uplifting rushOf 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.Mary Elizabeth Fryeblessings of the Lord be on you and your family,S Edited September 1, 2012 by sarkany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Kaman Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Gone From My SightI am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.Then, someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!”“Gone where?”Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear the load of living freight to her destined port.Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: “There, she is gone!” There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!”And that is dying.

Kingfisher Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 He seems well loved, a blessing to many. My truck will be in for repairs in the morning but I'll be with you all in spirit as you celebrate this life. An Irish Funeral PrayerDeath is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Everything remains as it was. The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no sorrow in your tone. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.No one knows what the cup may hold, but everything is possible for him who believes. Beannachd Dia dhuit.Father,I abandon myself into your hands; do with me what you will.Whatever you may do, I thank you:I am ready for all, I accept all.Let only your will be done in me, and in all your creatures.I wish no more than this, O Lord.Into your hands I commend my soul;I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,to surrender myself into your hands,without reserve and with boundless confidence,for you are my Father.Charles de Foucauld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
