Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2003-04-24 10:39 PM

I saw you lying there today
In that red dress you liked so well
Looking more beautiful than you could be
Surrounded by the thoughts and love
Of those that came to say Goodbye
One last time before sending you Home
Was your bed the one you wanted
We all seemed to see it first
From the back of the room
Powder blue with the pillow to match
As we all came to see you
And hold on to the end
I knew you were there with us
Holding us
Guiding us
Wishing peace in our hearts
Did I hear your voice in the corner
Was it you whispering thoughts of love
Shielding our minds and hearts from the pain
Of losing you from our lives
But did we lose you at all
Or did you simply ascend to a new role
To pave the way for us
And to prepare for our journey across the Void
For we shall meet again someday, somewhere
To share a laugh and a smile
As you take us to meet the One who is All
But for now I shall wait here
Alone with the others
Until I hear you bid me
Welcome Home

When the morning cries and you don't know why...

A very beautiful tribute, and a very wonderful way to honour your mother in law. I'm sure she's smiling as she reads this.

I know only one thing, and that thing is that I know nothing.

Brad:

smiling through tired eyes - this meant a lot to me as I have just lost someone myself . . .

What a beautiful thought . . .

Brad, I'm so sorry that I missed this the first time around. This is a very beautiful tribute you wrote for your Mother-in-law.

Heart hugs to all of you,

Ethel
