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.
I won’t be far away for life goes on,
So if you need me call and I will come.
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.

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.
The light is bright but my heart is at peace. Pain I feel no more. My loved ones will miss me, but my sorrow has ceased as my spirit begins to soar! As I met my Savior, He holds me close as a father comforts a child. I know my loved ones will miss me, […]
