you gave so much

You gave so much to us before you left

Your smile, your laugh, and your love,

Come through the children you left behind

Reminding us you’re somewhere up above

 

And even when we miss you most

And wish that you were here

We keep you in our thoughts so close

And know that you are near

 

God looked down on your body
So tired from hanging on
From a life that was overwhelming you
And wanted back His son

So he took away the air you breathe
And gave you what was best
A place to be at peace
A final place to rest

 

 

Five years ago today, it felt like my own life had ended. I never thought I would be strong enough to go on without you here. You gave me the most amazing gift of life in your children and you live on through them every day.

Truely a poignant piece. Unless you've experienced such a loss, you can never understand, only lend support. This was beautiful. Rain..
