when the smoke rises

jim56

when you get creamated and the smoke begins to rise
its your soul departing heading for the skies
to heaven up above so very far away
to its resting  place from now on it will stay

no more pain to suffer from now on only peace
troubles and the turmoil now at  last will cease
in heaven up above with a life thats free
your final resting place for eternity

    A moving poem Jim. We scattered my mum’s ashes at sea, as she wished, in a favourite spot. At rest now for eternity. I still feel her presence. Free of pain and no more suffering. What a blessing that is for her. So difficult to see loved ones suffering. Hope Thursday has been good. A thoughtful and reflective poem you have penned here.

      hi Cassie my partner was creamated last year
      she had lung cancer and asked to be creamated
      and ashes scattered over her daughters grave
      she died of cancer to she got her wish
      and now with her daughter
      the poem just came into my head so wrote it
