So very sorry to see you go,
but angels do have to move on.
I'm just glad you were able to
stop by my life,
so even though you must go,
remember me as you go get
your Georgia groove on.
Behind you leave your mark
and many truly sincere friends,
ones that will feel a deep void.
But as angels must, go and embrace
others in the heart, for you have
work to do that is sanctioned
by our dear Lord.
I'm so blessed that I was allowed
to breath in your magnificent spirit,
and thus be guided by your brilliant light.
What you leave behind is much more
than mere memories,
The collage of accomplishments will
stand as a beckon as what happens
when you live and love right.
Tenacious you are, so things really
got, but never because you had
a need to stand out in a crowd.
You wore your halo of love, hope
and compassion,
so how could those you touched
be anything but proud.
You crossed my path and now I
can hail you as my dear friend
and be comforted as you depart to
know, no matter where, on you I can
really depend.
thank you for leaving such a legacy of
angelic strand, that will serve to
sustain all in your absence.
Tears stain my eyes and there's
a tightening in my heart,
but even as they threaten to fall,
I know that as one of many,
I, too was graced to have
been in your presence!
