We Hold You Close

Beyond this realm
of all we know
exists another
where souls can grow.

A welcome space
proved true by faith
where wings, brand new,
are greeted, embraced.

This special place
of peace and calm
is Heaven for settlers
from far and beyond.

So, when you’re heart aches
as it’s bound to do,
just make sure
you take care of you.

It’s hard to believe,
even harder to accept,
the depth of emotions
so heavy, complex.

He may have left.
He’ll never be gone.
The best parts of him
will still carry on.

In the memories we hold
and the stories we share.
In the small signs that signal
his presence is near.

Trust that he’s happy,
his turmoil set free.
Raised above time,
forever he’ll be.
