Day 9. Talk about a poem

I am home in heaven, dear ones,
Oh! so happy and so bright,
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light,
All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless yearning passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.


Dear one's do not grieve so sorely
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadow's,
Pray to trust our Father's will
When your work is all completed
He will gently call you home,
Oh! the rapture of that meeting
Oh! the joy to see you come.


I found this poem after my grandfather passed away. It was in with pictures of him, and was at his funeral. When  I first found it, I started crying when I was reading it. My grandfathers death was so fresh in my mind, and it touched my heart in a way I will never be able to forget. At the time it fit the situation so perfectly. Now when I read this poem, not only do I think if my grandfather, but of Dawn, and Uncle Walt as well.
Its funny how one poem can give someone so many emotions.
This poem is so bitter sweet to me, but right now, more bitter. It is reminding me of just how much I miss my grandfather, Dawn, and Uncle Walt. The only way to get by, is to do what the poem says.
