Weep not for me though I am gone;
into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will but not for long,
upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace,
my soul's at rest.
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was blessed;

for all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts.

In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath;
remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
but celebrate my life.

Constance Jenkins



When tomorrow starts without me
and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time you think of me
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand

and said my place was ready
in heaven far above
and that I would have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.


As I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
from his great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you.";
Today my life on Earth is past
but here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow
but today will always last,
and since each day is the same day
there's no longing for the past.

When tomorrow starts without me
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

So won't you take my hand,
and share my life with me?

Do not stand by my grave and weep.
I am not there.  I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.

Welcome Home My Child My Son;
Your work on earth has been well done.

You have been a witness to many while on earth;
And you've shared the story about the miracle birth.

You never hid the fact that you loved Me,
You shared the Word no matter what the need be.

You spoke of Me often to family and friends;
And you showed how faith can strengthen and often mends.

You did your best to always give glory to Me;
And for this; you will live eternally.

And now the time has come for you to rest;
I'm taking you home as My special guest.

Welcome Home My daughter; My child; My son;
Your work on earth has been well done.

I stood beside your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
quietly in your sleep.

I touched you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour coffee,
You were thinking of how much you
were in LOVE with me.

I was with you at the store today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.

I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not really there.

I walked with you to the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you,
I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.

It's possible for me to be
so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."

You sat there very quietly, then
smiled, I think you knew ...
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch
you yawning and say
"goodnight, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."

And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and
we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to
show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.
