AUTUMN RAIN Do not stand by my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep I am a thousand wind's that blow, I am the diamond glint's upon the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain and I am the gentle Autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am that swift uplifting rush of quiet bird's in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. AUTHOR UNKNOWN I'M FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free following the path God has laid you see. I took his hand when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work, to play. Task'sleft undone must stay that way I found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, These thing's to I will miss. Be not burdened with time's of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I savored much Good friend's, good time's, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief Don't lengthen it now with undo grief. Lift up your heart's and peace to thee God wanted me now, He set me free. AUTHOR UNKNOWN TEARS If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane I would walk right up to heaven to bring you home again No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye You were gone before I knew it and only god knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. AUTHOR UNKNOWN
