A Message For My Friend

Please do not feel sorrow when someone asks about me,
or when you hear someone mention my name.
My wish for you is to feel joy in remembering me, 
and to somehow free yourself from this grip of pain. 
Remember that I chose you. If I had the choice to make again,
it would be the same.  So please don’t feel sad,
and alone my friend.  I have not left you behind. 
I am always going to be with you.
The bond we share is stronger then the measure of time. 
If you listen, you can hear my songs as they echo through the trees. 
A soft whispering melody.  A kind and gentle breeze.  
Even though my mission in this life time is complete
It doesn’t mean our time together is over and done.  
My spirit lives on in the life force of my Son.  
Celebrate my life with him. He will help your heart to mend. 
Let him guide you the rest of the way.
His heart is pure, and his devotion to you will never end. 
I promise that everything is going to be OK
Just remember that I chose you, and we will see each other again.
My dear and trusted friend,.. 
One fine, beautiful, and bright sun shining day.
