This Is Not Good-bye

Accidental Poet

As you close your eyes

And your last breath is gone

In the many lives you’ve touched

Your love light lives on

 

Yes, there will be a void

Where you used to be

But I know it’s you

In the sunrise I now see

 

Your spirit ever brighter

Your touch all the more you

You’re in the depths of my heart

Even the sunset shines of you too

 

In time I will adjust

To knowing life this way

I know God has called you home

As I cherish all your yesterdays

 

I’ll always remember

The love light in your eye

We’ll see each other again

This is not good-bye

        This is beautiful...i could only imagine how blessed and lovely it would be to be looking down upon someone who has written so beautifully about me after my time on earth in the physical form has gone by. Love it!
