I thought I would post the poem I wrote for Mom in case any one wanted to read it.
HOW DO WE SAY GOOD BYE
YOU HAVE BEEN OUR GUIDING LIGHT THROUGH GOOD AND BAD,
YOUR PASSING HAS MADE THE WORLD A PLACE THAT IS TRULY SAD…
AS YOU TAKE IN THIS NEW GREAT ADVENTURE
AND STAND IN HIS GLORY,
WE HAVE THE PRIVELEDGE TO CARRY ON YOUR LIFE’S STORY…
YOU HAVE ALWAYS FACED LIFES CHALLENGES WITH NO FEAR,
GIVEN YOUR FATE YOU HELD OUR HANDS WITH OUT EVEN A TEAR…
AS WE STRUGGLE WITH THIS SHOCKING NEWS,
KNOWING HEAVEN HAS ALL TO GAIN AND WE HAVE EVERYTHING TO LOSE…
I ADMIRE YOUR STRENGHT AND COURAGE THROUGH THIS LAST YEAR,
THIS DISEASE MADE YOUR BODY GIVE OUT WITH YOUR MIND EVER SO CLEAR…
YOU LEFT THIS LIFE HOLDING THE HAND OF THE ONE YOU LOVED SO DEAR,
ALL THOSE WHO LOVE YOU SHEDDING MANY TEARS…
YOU ARE NOW FREE FROM WHAT BOUND YOU FROM THE THINGS YOU LOVED,
I KNOW YOU ARE REJOICING AND WATCHING US FROM ABOVE…
IT IS HARD TO LET GO OF THE ONE WHO LOVED YOU FIRST,
THE ONE I COULD ALWAYS GO TO…
YOU ARE MY TRUELY MY HERO AND I LOVE YOU!!
CHRIS
