As we grow older
And hair turns to gray,
Our thoughts and our bodies,
Change in some ways.

A friend or a loved one,
Passes on-leaving grief,
But they leave us with memories,
That touch us so deep.

The soul never dies,
Nor their memory depart,
They'll talk to you daily,
And live on in your heart.

Time brings us healing,
It takes quite a while,
But their soul lives within you,
And will soon bring a smile.

May God bring you peace,
May your heart quickly mend,
May your tears turn to laughter,
Till you're together again.

Toe

I know this wasn't meant for me, but I'm taking it to heart anyway....because it fits.  Thank you for the sensitive man that you are and this compassionate poem that proves it.

Martie...I guess I should have written this to all that have lost loved ones....I'm not aware of your loss.. may peace overtake all the sadness your heart is feeling....I know this feeling...way too many times...and it never heals, but sometimes numbs with time....

Time brings us healing,
It takes quite a while,
But their soul lives within you,
And will soon bring a smile.

May God bring you peace,
May your heart quickly mend,
May your tears turn to laughter,
Till you're together again.



Toe, this is so sweet and compassionate.
You're a great friend. Do you know that?

Of all the low-down tricks...how am I supposed to berate you when you come up with things as touching and heartfelt as this?

As jellybeans, Suthern and many know, you make one hell of a friend

I read this and was thinking about when I first came to pip and you sent me a picture of a "toerag" (I know there are others that received the same welcome, you don't strike me as a one toerag man), and what a contrast that email was to this poem...

You have many lovable layers....

I guess that you will never know how close to home this hits.

*hugs*

Farewell my forever friend, may safe journeys in life always lead you home.

To all of you that can relate to what it is like to lose a child....I hope this is an inspiration....most of my garbage is an inspiration to puke to retaliate...I too have lost two young girls..and I can't imagine anything worse or more painful....To all of you who have endured this pain, and who are about to...may I offer this and prayers.....
(Don't look for anything serious from me again for awhile...LOL...bless you all for the kind words)

Toe, I lost a very close friend just recently and these beautiful words were very comforting. Life goes on without the ones that have gone, but they do stay so close to us when their memories are held in our hearts.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Youngster
