If I could tell You

Time will say nothing but I told you so
Time only knows the price we have to pay
If I could tell you I would let you know.

If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

There are no fortunes to be told, although
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.

The winds must come from somewhere when they blow
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

Suppose the lions all get up and go,
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will Time say nothing but I told you so
If I could tell you I would let you know.
W.H.Auden

There are things that we never want to let go of,
people we never want to leave behind.
But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world,
It’s the beginning of a new chapter in this book of life.

Best Poems for Funerals

When I am gone, release me -let me go
I have so many things to see and do.-
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that we had so many years
I gave you love, you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I travelled alone
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust -
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless those memories within your heart.-
I will not be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I will come. -
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near -
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear -
All of my love around you, soft and clear.-
Then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and "welcome home"

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far
Oooops! I'll let you know on that one!

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's to a happy one for you.
Dale Evans

Farewell all relations and friends in Christ;
farewell acquaintances and all earthly enjoyments;
farewell reading and preaching, praying and believing,
wanderings, reproaches, and sufferings.
Farewell, dearest friend, never to see one another
any more till at the right hand of Christ.
Donald Cargill

Best Poems for Funerals

Old friends pass away, new friends appear.
It is just like the days. An old day passes,
a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it
meaningful: a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama

The lyrics of this song could also be used.

For those able to have a lighter note!

The graveside service just barely finished, when there was
massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of
lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the
distance.
The little old man looked at the pastor and calmly said,
"Well, she's there."
