Although death and loss is sad for us, it is a necessary part of life’s cycle. I believe that it is a time of rest and renewal and reflection as we pass from this realm to the next. We will be joyfully reunited with those who have gone before us.
There is always going to be a hole in our heart each time we lose a loved one. However, if we begin to think that the person who is dying or who has died is going "home", this may help us to dry our tears a bit. I lost my father when I was 13 years old, and the hole is always in my heart. But, I knew that he was with God, so it helped a little to know this. I wanted my father to be home with me, but his home is heaven. It was hard to understand at such a young age of 13, but it did comfort me a bit to know and beleive he went "home" to heaven. I love the way you express yourself in your poem! Stop into my den sometime when you have a chance.

If we look towards death as "coming home" it will only comfort the one dying...not the ones left behind. A faithful and loving poem.
I', glad for the expressions in this poem. Sounds like it is like this for all of us. We are all waiting to go home sometime. And to feel and see them again, what a wonderful day that will be. Thanks for this write**********
The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.

Those we love and leave behind see us going home.
Those we loved and who are waiting see us coming home.
To know God and to be in God's love makes us complete.
