Going Home

As you sit here in honor of me. Know I’m with you and always will be. I thank you for the love you have shown. But the time has come I must go alone. Do not weep for me as I depart. I will forever be in your heart. There aren’t any handshakes in this goodbye. Rejoice my loss for I’m in paradise. I’ll miss my life I savored so much, My family, my friends, a loved ones touch. I need no luggage just hand me my comb. I do not need much for I’m going home.

Wow! what a beautiful goodbye, somehow makes death an easier concept to handle, 'I do not need much for I’m going home', that is a powerful line, and a beautiful message, amazing piece. DF
