I’m sorry that I had to leave you. <br />A distant voice called me away. <br />There was so much left for us to share, <br />so much we never got to say. <br /> <br />But all my pain is far behind me, <br />confusion finally laid to rest. <br />I hope my life here had a reason. <br />What you do now will be the test. <br /> <br />I died too early, but I always knew I would. <br />I lived life the way I wanted, <br />and always looked for something good <br />in everyone. <br /> <br />As I look down upon you now, <br />my hopes for you are still so strong. <br />Better to have loved and lost, <br />but we haven’t lost for long. <br /> <br />Don’t cry for me, beloved friends. <br />I've risen beyond this world of fear. <br />Hold my friendship in your memory, <br />and always know that I am near. <br /> <br />I know the grief will nearly kill you. <br />Dry your eyes, and carry on. <br />Remember me, <br />for through your lives, <br />my spirit will live on.<br /><br />WILFRED JOHN<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-sorry-that-i-had-to-leave-you/
