I know it's time
but I am not yet ready
how can I be prepared
for this?
I knew I would lose you
and move on without you
but the part of my life
you filled
will be empty forever
I do not weep for you
you are happy
to be free of worldly pain
and to return to God.
I have no fear for you
only assurance that we will
embrace again
It is I who hurt now
for I can no longer come to you
for a kind word, a smile, a hug
a little push when I need it,
the way you shared my happiness,
and strengthened me when I was fallen,
My life is the poorer
for want of you
The tears are for me

*tear*
this really made me cry. It reminded me of when I lost my father and things I wish I had known how to say back then. A great poem!

Wow, this is very honest and heartfelt, I thank you so very much.
I do not weep for you
you are happy
to be free of worldly pain
and to return to God.
