I wrote this poem for a family memeber who had just passed away. I wanted my poem to sound like she was talking her family.
The journey was long, now the time has come,
My weary soul has finally taken its final run.
I close my eyes, release my last breath,
And now a new journey begins, beyond all death,
To guide me home, a peaceful rest.
Do not grieve, my family, my friends so dear,
Though my absence brings sorrowful tears.
Just know I've walked a path, both dark and bright,
And had enough of day and night.
I've seen the world, and all the beauty that shines,
And weathered storms, both good and bad.
So, dry your eyes, and let no sorrow dwell,
For in your lives, I lived so well.
To watch you all bloom, has been a precious sight,
That has kept smiles upon my face.
But now a voice, a gentle call,
Call’s out to me saying 'Dear child, you've seen enough, your task is through.’
‘All your suffering ends here, it is time to come home.’
‘A new beginning waits for you.’
‘So, take my angel's hand, do not fear,
Ascend with them, your father will be waiting here.'
I'll watch from my throne beyond the blue,
With loved ones that have gone way before you.
Just remember my dear loved ones,
Deep in your hearts, I will always be there,
This is my silent promise I give to you just think of me and I will always be there.
As I begin my final journey that takes my physical body away from you.
But know this my love will always stay with you,
Until we meet again, someday.
