As You Stand Beside MeAs you stand here beside me I feel your love so true I feel as I have always Loved only you Take my hand And with me see A beautiful place Where we can be A place together In the blue so high Like the white doves There in the sky I love you truly As you love me Let’s walk together As it is meant to be Author Unknown At My GraveDo 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 diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die. Mary E. Frye (1932) Legend of the Sand DollarUpon this odd-shaped sea shell, a legend grand is told About the life of Jesus, the most wondrous tale of old. Its center markings plainly show the storied Guiding Star Which led to tiny Bethlehem, three wise men from afar. Five wounds suffered by our Lord from nails and Roman spear When he died upon the Cross are wounds shown plainly here. Within the shell, when opened five Doves of Peace are found They celebrate this legend, so may Peace and Love abound.
