Two poems that touched me when I lost my parents

[KizzieCat]

I Am Not There

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


God Hath Not Promised

God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.

But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labor,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy
Undying love......

Two poems that touched me when I lost my parents

don,t think of himas gone away
his journey,s just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this life is only one.
just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
on a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years
think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
and think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much
