Aimee Rodriguez Poet Rhyme

At Peace

That July morning you left with the dawn.
Finally done with a life full & long.
You brightened our lives with your wisdom & love,
& still shine upon us now from Heaven above.

Today, though our hearts are heavy with sorrow
The sun will still rise with a brand new tomorrow.
& though we can't see you, you'll always be near.
For death can't diminish a loved one so dear.

We all have a time & we all have a date,
To meet with our maker at Heaven's pearly gate.
Reunited at last with those gone before,
Peaceful & perfect it's all that & more.

There's no aches or pain, no sadness you'll see.
So grieve not too long for her souls been set free.
Free from the body, for it's but a shell.
A spirit at peace, you lived your life well.

Jan Terry August 25, 2015 at 12:30 PM Hello, Aimee. Welcome to Poetry Soup. Your poem is a hopeful and comforting look at the death of a dear one. It is a wonderful tribute to your grandmother. I hope you are inspired to write many more poems in the future. You are gifted. I especially enjoy rhyme being a bit old school myself. Keep up the good work and I will watch for more of your writes.
