Never Alone

NEVER ALONE By Derrick Smith Do not shed your tears for me Because God has called me home But keep in mind the memories And the fact you’re not alone Keep your tears for joyful things The thought of all that we have done And know that I no longer suffer That I am with the one The one who keeps you thru the day And watches over you thru the night The one who helped me make it through And fought my biggest fight My spirit lives within all of you That God saw fit to call me home I’ve done all that I could do Know that although I am gone But do not shed your tears for me Because with God I am now home But keep in mind all the memories And you will never be alone. I Am With God Now.

Derrick, thank you for the kind visit. Now I must visit you again. I'm glad you stopped by. I can honestly say, when I read your poem, yesterday it was only a poem, that reminded me of death. However, today it has a new meaning. Last night I went to church with a friend. Yes, I am In time of need, my spirit sits in a wounded chair. Anyways, while I was at church, my 3 year old granddaughter and her nanny showed up. I never felt blessed, like that before. And if that was not enough. God praised me with a feeling I will never forget. I know now I am never alone. It's been a year since my mother passed away, last June, God called her home. I know her spirit is here with me. I thank you for the uplifting thought. Always Linda
