Overlijdensgedichtje: ‘Nooit de moed opgeven’

Waar mensen mensen zijn
die elkaar verstaan
Waar liefde liefde is
daarheen wil ik gaan
Waar het eeuwig vrede is
waar de zon schijnt
Waar een nieuwe wereld is
die niet meer verdwijnt

Beste Oma
Oma, hoe was het toen
nu is er niets meer aan
u bent er niet
en dat doet ons allen veel verdriet

God looked around His garden
and He found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
and lifted you to rest
Gods garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He also knew in Heaven
you would never hurt again
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hill harder to climb
So, He closed your weary eyelids
and whispered "Peace Be Thine"
It broke my heart to lose you
but you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you
the day He called you home
If tears could build a staircase
and memories a lane
I'd walk all the way to heaven
and bring you home again

Je was er altijd
Je was er heel veel
Je was er voor iedereen
En nooit teveel
