Quietly you go <br />Soft angel feathers <br />Envelope your soul <br />Carrying you away from us <br />We are left to piece together why we stay <br />And why you had to go <br /> <br />Softly you take leave <br />As your soul ascends <br />All pain trickles to earth <br />Shed back to us in the form of rain and snowflakes <br />We remember our loved one and friend <br /> <br />Gently you disappear <br />When our minds pass too <br />So shall the memory of you <br />Tender quiet soul <br />I hope that with you someday <br />I will quietly go<br /><br />Wanda Swim Strunk<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/quietly-you-go/
