Lynda

A song so very close to my heart when my Precious Pa passed away..

"You Raise Me Up"


When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

Hi Lynda,
I hope you don't mind but I was in Newcastle yesterday and called into St. Nicholas Cathedral and said a little prayer for you and your family.

Thankyou to eveybody who posted kind and thoughtful messages. The funeral was yesterday, and it was a beautiful service, low key and intimate. I spoke about my Dad, the memorable times while I was growing up, and read the poem "He Is Gone", by David Harkins. Thankyou, Liz, for nudging your thread - that's where I found the poem.
Now it's time to clear out his apartment, and put it up for sale. Fortunately, we all had a big clear out when my parents moved down here in 2004, so it won't be such a mammoth task, but certainly an emotional one.
Love from Lynda xxx

I have nudged up the Remember Me thread for you Lynda, as there are lots of wonderful verses there too

I hope you will feel strong enough to read the verse for your Dad as you had it read for your Mam.

Been thinking about you

Lynda,

I have just read your post that your dad has passed away, my sincere condolences to you and your family.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
So do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

R.I.P.

I will be in Sheringham on that day and will think of you all Lynda as you say your goodbyes. Hope people can get to the service if possible and you will reminisce and smile at the memories.

Thankyou to all of you, it's really comforting to read all these lovely messages. We've had a really busy couple of days, and now all the arrangements are just about in place. I just hope I can do Dad proud on Wednesday 6th February. Just a quiet service, as not many of our relatives can come so far - mainly from the North East, and many pretty elderly. Will make sure his favourite music is played, and a poem or two recited.
Love to all of you, Lynda xx
