Hope in Heaven's Day

 Grief be mine, I ask you so, 
If not for you, I wouldn't know, 
How life once was and then be still, 
How so precious, that death do steal. 
Because that grief, won't go away, 
Learn to let it have its way.
The link to love, a precious one, 
Is met with grief and still not done.
The days do come, and nights do go, 
Grief will stay as time is so.
And so a loved one passes on, 
And grief comes in and carries on.
Does grief get better, I will ask, 
It's hard to say, while at its task.
There is grief to help us cope, 
There is God to give us hope.
Grief will surely go away, 
On that glorious heaven's day.
But while its here, there's just one thing, 
Pray our Lord, for peace he'll bring.

If I Had Only Known
By Reba McEntire


If I Had Only Known 

If I had only known
It was the last walk in the rain
I'd keep you out for hours in the storm
I would hold your hand
Like a life line to my heart
Underneath the thunder we'd be warm
If I had only known
It was our last walk in the rain

If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again
I'd memorize each thing you ever said
And on those lonely nights
I could think of them once more
Keep your words alive inside my head
If I had only known
I'd never hear your voice again

You were the treasure in my hand
You were the one who always stood beside me
So unaware I foolishly believed
That you would always be there
But then there came a day
And I turned my head and you slipped away

If I had only known
It was my last night by your side
I'd pray a miracle would stop the dawn
And when you'd smile at me
I would look into your eyes
And make sure you know my love
For you goes on and on
If I had only known
If I had only known
The love I would've shown
If I had only known

May you rest in the Arms of the Lord Ryan!
