Best Sympathy Verses

Although no words can really help
To ease the loss you bear
Just know that you are very close
In every thought and prayer.

*****

An angel opened up the book of life,
to record the baby’s birth,
and whispered as she closed the book
“Too beautiful for earth”.

“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 the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the soft refreshing rain.
When you awake in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there, I did not die.”

*****

Into each life some rain must fall but sunshine does appear.
It brings with it a rainbow and a message that is clear.
Please know that you are not alone that we all hold you dear
Let faith & hope into your heart and keep your memories near.

Don’t think of her as gone away-
Her journey has just begun
Life holds many facets
The Earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know today
How nothing but our sadness can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost-
And she was loved so much.
