jCeUlngi Qa
The angels gathered near your bed, so very close to you.
For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through.
I thought about so many things, as I held tightly to your hand.
How I wished that you were strong, and happy once again.
But you eyes were looking homeward, to that place beyond the sky.
Where Jesus held out his outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye.
I struggled with my selfish thoughts, for I wanted you to stay;
So we could walk and talk again, like we did yesterday.
But Jesus knew the answer, and I know he loved you so.
So I gave to you the greatest gift~the gift of letting go.
And my heart will carry memories of the love you gave to us;
Until we meet again in Heaven, where the best is yet to be.
Awaiting our Lords return, you will always be loved and missed.

Perhaps you sent a lovely card sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps you sent a floralpiece, if so we saw it there.
Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console our hearts.
We thank you so much, whatever the part.
God Bless You.
