My Angel Up In Heaven funeral reading

Here’s the next in my series of funeral readings you might like to consider for your loved one’s funeral or memorial ceremony. Some are sad, some are uplifting, some are comforting; there’s something for everyone here.
Readings are absolutely not a compulsory part of a funeral or memorial ceremony. Sometimes family members or friends desperately want to speak at their loved one’s funeral, but they haven’t got the wherewithal to write something themselves. Readings are a perfect stand-in: your emotions and feelings right there on the page ready for you to contribute.
Remember readings can be adapted – if your favourite reading is written for him, you can change it to her! If it’s written for Mum, you can change it to Dad or Grandma or Grandpa, whatever fits for you. Take out lines that don’t fit your circumstances. I just make sure to introduce such a reading as an adaptation.
My Angel Up In Heaven, by Dave Hedges
My angel up in heaven,
I wanted you to know,
I feel you watching over me,
Everywhere I go.
I wish you were here with me,
But that can never be,
Memories of you in my heart,
That only I can see.
My angel up in heaven,
I hope you understand,
That I would give anything,
If I could hold your hand.
I’d hold you oh so tightly,
And never let you go,
All the love inside of me,
To you I would show.
My angel up in heaven,
For now we are apart,
You’ll always live inside of me,
Deep within my heart.
