A poem for my sister Deidre who passed on Monday




Let Me Go

We've known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain;
We've lived in the sunshine
And walked in the rain.
But now we're separated
And for a time apart,
But I am not alone-
You're forever in my heart.
Death always seems so sudden,
And it is always sure,
But what is oft' forgotten-
It is not without a cure.
I'm walking now with someone,
And I know He'll always stay,
I know He's walking with you too,
Giving comfort everyday.
There may be times you miss me,
I sort of hope you do,
But smile when you think of me,
For I'll be waiting for you.
Now there's many things for you to do,
And lots of ways to grow,
So get busy, be happy, and live your life,
Miss me, but let me go.

A great work, so sad that your sister's book is writ
That that she gave remains, always with you
The smiles she gave, smile on, the laughs, the jokes you shared
In time you will again, worm you will the love live on with in you
Thinking out to you, Ken :);)
