A poem I wrote to comfort a friend in the wake of his mother's passing.


 


Early one morning, I looked toward the blue
And saw the most beautiful memory of you
The vision was one that was perfect and clear
In proving your spirit shall always be near
The sight, filled with wonder, stretched across the sky
Its presence eased the ache found in our goodbye
For, suddenly, I knew we would meet once more
As angels, united, inside Heaven’s door.


 


I stood in amazement, gazing near the sun
And realized your struggles, here on earth, were done
After many battles, your burdens had ceased
Your hardships had ended; your soul was at peace
Throughout many hours, I sat and I grieved
But in that reminder, my heart felt relieved
The sight which had formed, right before my eyes
Brought my heart much comfort in the midst of sighs.


 


Early one morning, I looked ‘cross the blue
And saw the most beautiful memory of you
The vision was one that had prompted a tear
Yet, proved to my heart you will always be near
A rainbow had formed from the sky to the sea
A testament of the joy you brought to me
Serving as a promise we will meet again
In the walls of Heaven, far from grief and pain.

"...and saw the most beautiful memory of you..."
I love that line! The sweet gentle cadence of this piece moves the reader through as if being rocked gently with a lullaby. Simply beautiful...

Awww....:( Losing a parent is on the YTop Ten list of awful things to happen in one's lifetime. This poem, heartfelt and sweet, will surely ease your friend's burden.

Very powerful messages within the lines, Jill...I, too, believe Heaven is a place where there are no more pain, no more tears, and no more worries. My mom always said, we should cry at a birth and rejoice at a funeral. I think she was on to something.

HUGS!
