LETTING GO By Judith Bulock Morse
The angels gathered near your side
so very close to you
For they knew the pain and suffering
that you were going through.
I thought about so many things
as I held tightly to your hand
Oh, how I wished that you were strong
and happy once again.
But your eyes were looking homeward
to that place beyond the sky
Where Jesus held His outstretched arms
it was time to say, “Good-bye”.
I struggled with my selfish thoughts
for I wanted you to stay
So we could walk and talk again
like we did…just yesterday
But Jesus knew the answer
and I know you loved Him so
So I gave to you life’s greatest gift,
the gift of letting go.
LIFE WELL LIVED
A life well lived is a precious gift,
of hope and strength and grace,
from someone who has made our world
a brighter, better place.
It’s filled with moments,
sweet and sad, with smiles and sometimes tears,
with friendships formed and good times shared,
and laughter through the years.
A life well lived is a legacy,
of joy and pride and pleasure,
a living, lasting memory
our grateful hearts will treasure.
