Take heart, dear
one;
for your loved one is not
truly gone.
Right here in your loving
memory
he continues to live
on.
Listen carefully, and you
will hear the echo of his laughter
pouring out of Heaven
through your open window.
Beside your pillow in the
eve of night,
he whispers through the
silence how he loves you so.
In those bitter moments
when your heart mourns,
he holds you carefully in
yesterday’s embrace.
When tears of remembrance
pour from your grieving eyes,
he secretly dries them
from your face.
With the gift of his new
body,
he guards you while you
are yet unaware.
His love walked beside you
during life,
and even in death it
brings him back there.
Rejoice even in your
sorrow,
for he whom you loved is
not truly gone.
Right here in your loving
memory he continues to live,
Until that glorious day
when you can join him at the throne.
