Requiescat In Pacem

Requiescat In Pacem

when I leave this world
look not for me under the dried ground
but look up and see me beneath the skies

when I pass from this realm
weep not for my absence from your crowd
but feel my presence in the gentle wind

find solace in my words, those that I've writ
know that this heart belongs to you and only you
that I will always be a part of your soul 

on a cold day, let our memories warm you up
and when you are down, let the same memories lift your spirits 
look back with fondness and love 

it matters not how I leave this world
you were my salvation, my life, my soul
I lived and not merely existed

and this is enough

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
