The comfort of words

This poem was sent to me from a friend. I can't help but think of the power of words, especially when they are sent from the heart. (I'll have to write more about that later!) Thank you again to all of my friends and family for their soothing heart felt words.

Remember Me
“Remember me always, but do not grieve for me too

long. I have tried always to comfort you in times of

sorrow, and have made every effort to add joy to your

life. I never wanted to cause you pain.



Peace for me is certain now, and I suspect I will have

eternal sleep in the Earth I do so well.



Please, after your period of grieving for me, make room

in your heart for another. You are the kind of human

being that should always have a friend like me to love.

Your kind and gentle heart should not be wasted on my

memory for too long. Give your love to another. I know

your new friend will never take my place, because we

had something very special.



It may not be quite the same, but a new devoted and

loving companion will in time, become special in their

own way.



You loved me very much and I love you. My spirit will

always be with you, and no matter how deep my sleep,

my grateful heart will always remember you.”
