LEAVING
You’re sad about my leaving,
but don’t cry for me too long.
Let memories of love bring comfort,
and help you to be strong.
I haven’t done all I’d planned,
it’s true.
But I’ve done all that God,
meant me to.
I know right now it seems,
that life is so unfair.
Hold onto your faith,
and try not to despair.
Find some peace in knowing,
I’m in a better place.
Safe and free from pain,
in the good Lord’s sweet embrace.
I’m with all of our loved ones,
who have gone on before.
They were there to greet me,
when I reached heaven’s door.
But a part of me is also,
being left behind.
I’ll always be as close,
as your heart and mind.
We all live on inside,
the people that we touch.
That’s why friends and family,
always mean so much.
When the time comes for you,
to pass St. Peter’s gate.
The first cloud on the left,
is the place where I will wait.
