Don't grieve for me, now I am gone <br />You knew I could not stay - <br />The road was rough, I was too weak <br />To last another day; <br /> <br />I knew my days were numbered, <br />Although to leave was sad - <br />So many lovely memories <br />Of everything I had; <br /> <br />My life, my loves, my family <br />That meant so much to me - <br />I carry them within my heart <br />To where I need to be; <br /> <br />And where I go is not so far, <br />I'm just a thought away - <br />You call to me and I'll be there <br />Beside you as you pray; <br /> <br />My heavenly family's waiting, <br />I see them gather 'round - <br />Find peace, and know I'm not alone, <br />For I am heaven bound. <br /> <br /> <br />LJO <br />12/28/2009<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/last-farewell-2/
