A bereavement poem, written in the wake of this week's mining explosion.

Thursday, January 5, 2006


Poem Artwork

 


Grieve not for me in stillness
For my heart is Home at last
I am free from all illness
And my suffering is past
While I stroll amid the sunbeams
Dancing ‘cross the distant blue
Please know that you are in my dreams
And my memories of you.


 


Think not of me in sorrow
Do not shed a single tear
Look forward to tomorrow
And each of the coming years
Every day, I see is joy-filled
Every night is filled with stars
My earthen time has been well-fulfilled
And I no more view the scars.


 


Grieve not for me in stillness
For my heart is Home at last
I am free from all illness
And my suffering is past
Please, think not of me in sorrow
For my soul is filled with cheer
Knowing that one grand tomorrow
You will come to join me here.

Dear Jill,

It's evident that you live with an open heart, for there is nothing that does not touch it.

Love & Light,

Jill,
Your tributes are always heartfelt and touching. Their suffering of loss is tragically overbearing, and they need the support of the rest of us to help them through.
With your words of inspiration I know they will find comfort.

Beautiful tribute; God be with the people of W.V. as they cope with this disaster, especially the families/friends of the miners who died and the one who is curently fighting for his life! Very well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Burleson, Karen Lynn. :( >tears <
