Poem can i go now

There is a post on the other board about a man who lost his baby the same way I lost Drew, which I read yesterday. It brought everything back as if it only happened yesterday.

Miss me a little, but not for long And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that once we shared Miss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take And each must go alone. It's all part of the master plan A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know.

Laugh at all the things we used to do Miss me, but let me go. Christina Rossetti Angel Tear drops, slow and steady, The pain so real and true, God took another angel, And that angel, dear, was you.

Angel wings, upon the clouds, Your body softly sleeps, Hush now little angel, No more tears you have to weep. Little prayers are sent to you, The short life you led; Your family will never forget you, So rest your little head.

I know God will look after you, Now you are truly alive, Your spirit soars beyond the moon, Your legacy will survive. Close your pretty eyes, No more tears, just go and rest, Let your soul lie peacefully, We know you did your best.

A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove He only takes the best. A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still , In our hearts you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. Not, how did they die, but how did they live? Not, what did they gain, but what did they give? These are the units to measure the worth Of a person as a person, regardless of birth. Not, what was their church, nor what was their creed? But had they befriended those really in need? Were they ever ready, with a word of good cheer, To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not, what did the sketch in the newspaper say, But how many were sorry when they passed away? I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; Of happy memories that I leave when life is done. Anon All Is Well Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.

Call me by my old familiar name, Speak to me in the easy way which you always used Put no difference in your tone, Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, Just around the corner. All is well. I hope you can forgive me for being Such a stiff and unwelcoming host.

Just talk amongst yourself my friends, And share a toast or two. For I am sure you will remember well How I loved to drink with you. Don't worry about mourning me, I was never easy to offend. Feel free to share a story at my expense And we'll have a good laugh at the end.

I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, To love, to work or play. If parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow. Lift up your hearts and share with me, God wants me now, He set me free.

Shannon Lee Moseley Short funeral poems If you feel anxious about reading a long poem or want to keep the service as short as possible, you may wish to choose a short funeral poem which is still a touching tribute to your loved one and the life they have left behind. The love that's deep within me, Shall reach you from the stars, You'll feel it from the heavens, And it will heal the scars.

I have sent up my gladness on wings, to be lost in the blue of the sky. I have run and leaped with the rain, I have taken the wind to my breast. My cheek like a drowsy child to the face of the earth I have pressed. Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die. I have so many things to see and do, You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years. Do you think the time is right? May I say goodbye to pain filled days and endless lonely nights?

I've lived my life and done my best, an example tried to be. So can I take that step beyond and set my spirit free? I didn't want to go at first, I fought with all my might. But something seems to draw me now to a warm and loving light.
