In Sympathy
So sorry for your loss. My nan passed away last year and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts are with you. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x
What is Dying?
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'
That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
Free to run with the wind in your hair
Free to fly like a bird in the air
Free to laugh and dance somewhere
Free to be the person you were.
free of all shackles and free of all ties
Free to soar above the skies.
Free from sorrow and free from all pain
We would not wake you to suffer again
Sleep well, sleep long, you have earned your rest
You simply were the very best.
'somewhere over the rainbow'
afterglow
i'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one
i'd like to leave an after
glow of smiles when
life it done
i'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly
down the ways
of happy times and
laughing times and
bright and sunny days
i'd like the tears of those
who grieve,to dry
before the sun
of happy memories that i
leave when life is done
when i must leave you
WHEN I MUST LEAVE YOU
when i must leave you
for a little while
please do not grieve
and shed wild tears
and hug your sorrow to you
through the years,
but start out bravely
with a gallant smile;
and for my sake
and in my name
live on and do
all things the same,
feed not your loneliness
on empty days,
but fill each waking hour
in useful ways,
reach out your hand
in comfort and in cheer
and i in twin will comfort you
and hold you near;
and never,never
be afraid to die,
for i am waiting for you
in the sky!
