Goodbye
(Dedication: To the memory of a family
friend who went home today, Friday.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sojourn now done, my soul goes home;
Truth is bitter but love soothes pain;
Empty of dawn, no more to roam;
Peace now better, feel whole again;
Here for a while, laughter found smiles;
Ere we return to live again,
Niche earthly styles that fate compiles.
Love can discern the path laid plain;
I lived my best with courage bold;
Mind and heart wrote a tale of joy.
Death is sure fest that must unfold;
I live in part as kin employs;
Etched in your heart dearest of mine:
Souls that impart a love divine.
