Tombstone Sayings and Other Favorite Sayings.

Here are some of the poems, sayings, quotes and tombstone sayings I have seen and love. My favorite is my own to my husband. I'm always being teased by these Northerners because of being from the south.

I have been doing genealogy. I found my family and my husband's family and found my family went way back and his didn't get here until about 1880s.

So one day I said to him.

"The young woman was at the end of her rope. Seeing no way out, she dropped to her knees in prayer. "Lord, I can't go on," she said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear. "The Lord replied, "My daughter, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room. Then, open that other door, and pick out any cross you wish." The woman was filled with relief. "Thank you, Lord," she sighed, and she did as she was told. Upon entering the other door, she saw many crosses, some so large the tops were not visible. Then, she spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. " I'd like that one, Lord," she whispered. And the Lord replied, "My daughter, that is the cross you just brought in."

"Grandma's Tea Rose"

In Grandma's Garden,a long time ago, A sweet smelling tea rose decided to grow She pampered and watered and fertilized and shared: Sometime later when Grandma's time had passed, Her daughter,Gledis, wanted the tea rose to last, She took a cutting to pamper, water, fertilize, and share; The sweet smelling tea rose knew that she cared. Grandma's tea rose continues to grow and to thrive; It helps us remember when Grandma was alive. Dried petals and small clippings we freguently share. Like our love for each other;she taught us to care. There's a pattern for pillows and one special quilt; Grandma's sweet smelling tes rose never shall wilt. Like the sweet smelling tea rose that our Grandma shared; We each felt her love and knew that she cared

"Here lies an atheist / All dressed up and no place to go."

Inscription:
"The golden gates were opened
A gentle voice said come.
And with farewells unspoken
He calmly entered home."

If memories could make a stairway I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I am not there

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the snow on the mountain's rim,
I am the laughter in children's eyes,
I am the sand at the water's edge,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle Autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the star that shines at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
