Poetry
We knew you were leaving
because you had such peace.
We watched as you departed
quietly, yielding with ease.
We knew your time had come
although it was very hard.
It was like the lights went out
and we were left in the dark.
We knew we couldn’t keep you
and that you had to go.
It broke our hearts to lose you
and how we miss you so.
We knew you would be alright
because you planned ahead.
Now there is no more suffering
but peace and joy instead.
We knew you were prepared
and had done your very best.
And now you’re with the Father
in your home of eternal rest
