This short song by Sam Baker touched my heart and I wrote a few more verses to go with it, in honor of my son, Hunter Harvey Woods 2011-2012<3 Go in peace, Go in kindness, Go in love, Go in faith, Leave the day, The day behind us, Day is done, Go in grace.

Let us go Into the dark, Not afraid, Not alone, Let us hope By some good pleasure, Safely to Arrive at home. --Sam Baker

Listen to poem:

Go and see what's waiting for you Go and hear sweet angel's sing I will come, and I'll be with you When my time here is through Then I'll fly above the stars Away from sorrow, away from pain To the place my heart longs for To be with you, with you again Go on wings of birds or angels Nevermind,I know you'll fly Your soul is light, no burdens hold you Even my arms that held you tight Like a butterfly you flew Away from me but to your home And although I ache to hold you I have faith, I have hope So don't look behind you darling Fly straight and fly true To strong arms that hold you safer Then these arms ever could. And if you do look down at me From your heights of joy above Don't be sad , don't be angry Please forgive this mother's love

Beautiful poem, Crystol. I'm guessing that it was cathartic for you to write this but, at the same time, it is also a wonderful act of faith. Please accept my condolences for your loss. Take care, Jim.

This is a very touching poem, a mother bidding farewell to her daughter, not in tears, but in faith and hope. She consoles herself that her daughter has gone to a place of bliss where stronger hands will take care of her. Accepting death this way is so heroic. A very emotive poem, Crystol. All the Best.

Dear Crystol, I felt many flowing emotions as I read your wonderful heart and soul poem about acceptance of a loved one's death and the hope for reunion in the afterlife. As I enjoyed each line, I then felt a strong sense of faith and hope in our Lord, who is our comforter. As you put it so well that our loved ones who have passed on are no longer suffering. Wonderful Read! – Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
