Memorial verses for a husband

I’d like the memory of meto be a happy one.I’d like to leave an afterglowof smiles when life is done.I’d like to leave an echowhispering softly down the ways,Of happy times and laughing timesand bright and sunny days.· · ·

A light from our household has gone,A voice we loved is stilled,A place is vacant in our home,That never can be filled.

A silent grief that’s in our hearts,No human eye can trace,For many a broken heart is hidBeneath a smiling face.

My husband, my friend, my other half,Together we walked through life,Now I walk on alone, dear love,But you remain my life.Your chair is empty, your voice is still,But love like ours can never die,I carry you with me every day,Until we meet on high.

To the world you were my husband,To me you were the world,I miss you more than words can say,My flag of love, unfurled.

Lord, grant my husband eternal rest,And peace beyond all measure,Until the day we meet again,And love becomes forever.

We shared our lives, our hopes, our home,Now I must walk this road alone,But every step I ever take,Is taken for our love's sake.

A loving husband, a steady hand,A partner through the years,Now gone from sight but not from heart,Held close through joy and tears.
