Journey Journal Page MISSING YOU (For my parents, and parents-in-law) By Leon Enriquez The Angel of Death has come today To take your beautiful soul away Our mortal hearts are broken with tears For you ascended from us my dear We feel our loss this moment in time As we reflect on past happy chimes When laughter and good cheer cast spells Your wit and kindness and humour tells ~~~~~~~~~ A simple soul with a lovely heart We will miss your empathy and art Lavish grace and show of timely care The kind thoughtful fare beyond compare Your legacy and blessings remain On this we lean and our loss contain You are the reason for our good health A story beyond our timeless wealth ~~~~~~~~~ In you our special friend we miss most Sadly, you have given up your ghost Your earthly days are over right now Still, your fond memory does endow Winging on your safe homebound journey Bless us all with a token lovely Inspire in our hearts devotion deep To pray in the heart’s temple for keeps ~~~~~~~~~ Gone too soon as footfalls slip away Dearly departed from us today We pray your soul enters paradise To be with those who gain love’s grand prize By the columbarium garden wall Your earthly ashes here we install Your picture portrait stares at our world Even as our loss flings tears that swirl ~~~~~~~~~ Our humble mortality a gift As heart and soul and mind thus uplift To walk the path to eternity When we meet love again most truly With your departure from time and space We miss your countenance and embrace Pray for us from the other shore, to be To live full zest our daily journey ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 09 January 2024 Singapore
