Don't grieve
for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
Do
Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do
not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not die...
I
made this webpage to try to help me cope with the loss of my father.
I really try not to show it much but I miss him so much.
Some nights
I sit and cry and wonder why God had to take him from us.
He never got to
see his first grandson graduate from high-school, never got to see my first
house,
and all the other things he never got to see.
I then remember
my uncle Steve and how God took him so much earlier and there
were many things
he never got to see also and then
feel blessed that I got to keep my dad for
as long as I did.
I miss my dad greatly and know that he and my uncle are
up there in heaven looking down
on us and watching over us every day.
I thought
putting this page here where I can come and visit it and remember my dad
for who
he was would help me.
It has been a year and a half now since he
passed but still feels like yesterday.
