It Wasn’t a Final Goodbye
But a Farewell for Now
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.”- Helen Keller
It wasn’t a final goodbye
Your time on earth is
Over
But this isn’t an
End
But a new
Beginning.
~~~
We remember
The laughter
Your sense of
Humor
Your generous spirit.
~~~
A teacher
A friend
You left so much
But though the earthly
Chapter came to
An end
We will see you
Again.
We grieve for
Awhile but rejoice
Too
Knowing pain
And sorrow
No longer
Exist for you.
~~~
This isn’t a goodbye
But a farewell
For now
We will see
You again
When he
Calls us
Home
To be with
Him.
