Memorial verses for a wife

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.

No matter how life changes,No matter what we do,A special place within our heartsIs always kept for you.

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

My wife, my heart, my dearest friend,Together life was sweet,Now I go on without you, love,Until again we meet.Your gentle voice, your loving smile,Are with me every day,Though you are gone, my darling wife,You're never far away.

To the world you were my wife,To me you were my world,Your loving smile, your gentle ways,Forever will unfold.

Lord, grant my wife eternal peace,And keep her in Your care,Until the day we meet again,In Heaven, over there.

A loving wife, a steady heart,A partner and a friend,Though we are parted for a while,Our love will never end.

We shared a home, a life, a love,That nothing could divide,Though you are gone, my dearest wife,You're always by my side.
