The Eulogy Letter


Although I leave
Behind

So many to grieve
Please don't cry

For I have loved my beautiful life
And have no fear to die

For through faith
I know 

Angels with bright wings
With turtle-doves
That sing

Will find me
To guide me

Beyond the clouds of this world's largest sky

Way past Saturn Rings

For my heart is clear
And filled with all the wonderful things 

I hold dear
Like you all

My family and friends 
So hold on to your sad tears

This is not the end

For I have danced hand in hand with love 

In the early morning rain
And sunshine 
 
Savored its sweet taste and pain 
In my beating chest as my heart pined

Kissed and fought 
For peace
For the oppressed 

With all the many buttons 
I could find 
To press

So of me do not cry
For fear of death 

No fear 
Have I

For my God 
Now waits for me

Smiling 
Beaming 
In the shadows

By the silver gates

In the eternal green redeeming meadows

So take this
As my final kiss 
Goodbye

My eulogy letter 

For remember 
When you hear this

Trust me
Good friends and true love
Never die

And knowing
Loving and seeing
You all 

Has been my utmost pleasure 

And I can only hope and pray  
You'll keep doing your best in some way 

Therefore, in closing

Good night and
God bless 

Remember me
Just another loved one

Walking to find their salvation 

In the Holy Sea
