Heart Flight     by Lee Gilley

Fly, little dove of white,
Into a sky of blue.
Fly, little dove of white,
Our hearts rise up with you.

Carry Me Home     by Lee Gilley

My loved ones do not cry
And worry of me
For like the dove
I have been set free.

God has called me
To my mansion on high
Just there among the clouds
In the deep blue sky.

I have no pain
No suffering to do
I have been called home
And I know you will too.

So beat hard and fast
Little wings of white
And carry me home
Before the night.

I'm Free    by Shannon Moseley

Don't grieve for me for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has chosen, you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.

I couldn't stay another day-
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Task left undone must stay that way.
I've now found peace at the end of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh a kiss-
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full. I've savored much-
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now-He set me free.

Wings   by C. David Hay

Oh, to catch the winds of flight and soar where eagles go,
To leave the woes of troubled souls behind me far below.
I'd listen to the song of birds and sail in endless flight,
Then chase the sun through cloudy paths and play with stars at night.
The boundless heavens for my home, the breeze to lift me high,
To rise above my mortal bonds and never have to die.
Knowing I had found the way to trails where angels trod,
And when my wings could fly no more-- I'd take the hand of GOD!

An untitled poem

by Mary E. Frye 1905-2004 http://www.hightowertrail.com/labastil.html

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 hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die. (1932)

I Am Always With You    author unknown

When I am gone, release me let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.

I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
That it is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "Welcome Home".
