What is this life if full of care

We have no time to stand

and stare?

No time to stand beneath

the boughs

And stare as long as sheep,

or cows.

No time to see, when woods

we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts

in grass.

No time to see, in

broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at

Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her

mouth can

Enrich that smile her

eyes began.

A poor life this, if full of care,

We have no time to stand

and stare.

William Henry Davies 1871 - 1940

RV 73a

When I come to the end of

the road,

And the sun has set for me.

I want no rites in a gloom

filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long,

And not with your head

bowed low.

Remember the love that we

once shared

Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all

must take

And each must go alone,

It’s all a part of the Master’s plan

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick

of heart,

Go to the friends we know,

And bury your sorrow

In doing good deeds,

Miss me but let me go.

RV 74

Lonely is the home without you,

Life to us is not the same;

All the world would be

like heaven,

If we could have you back again.

A light is from our

household gone,

A voice we loved is still,

A place is vacant in our home,

That never can be filled

May the God of Love and Mercy,

Care for our loved one who

is gone,

And bless with consolation,

Those left to carry on.

The happy hours we

once enjoyed,

How sweet their memory still,

But death has left a vacant place,

This world can never fill

How dearly we loved you,

And prayed you might live,

But Jesus just beckoned

And we had to give.

God gave us strength to bear it,

And courage to fight the blow,

What it has meant to lose you

God alone will ever know.

RV 74a

Think

Of stepping on the shore

and finding it heaven;

Of taking hold of a hand

and finding it

God’s hand;

Of breathing a new air

and finding it

celestial air;

Of feeling invigorated

and finding it

immortality;

Of passing from storm

and tempest

to an unknown calm;

Of waking -

and finding you’re Home.
