Grieving

To those I have loved and to those who loved me,
When I am gone release me; let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years,
I gave you my love you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s time I travel on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for awhile that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.

Though you can’t see or touch me I’ll be near,
And if you listen within your heart you’ll hear,
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and welcome you home.

Said in the morning when rising… Christ be with me, be after me, be before me, and be at my right and left hand. May everything I do be for Christ.
Please don’t say that I gave up, say that I gave in. Don’t say I lost the battle, For it was God’s battle to lose or win. Please don’t say how good I was, but that I did my best. Just say I tried to do what’s right, to give the most I could not […]
