I fear not the darkness,
and death does not me hold.
I wander now in sunshine,
and such beauty I behold.
I am no longer bound by the years,
that made my poor bones creak.
So dry your eyes of tears,
for I have found the peace I seek.
Although our paths have parted,
I still carry your love in my heart.
And I know your thoughts are with me,
on this new life I now start.

A beautiful poem. Can you provide some background for it?
ReplyDeleteAnnie, an old friend from way back in my army days, passed away in the early hours of Friday morning. I wrote the poem about six years ago at the passing of another friend ... I thought Annie might like it.
DeleteSo sorry to hear of your friend's passing. It's a beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe my darling girl has upped and left me for a better place. I know she's free from pain now, I miss her.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this poem, it eases the heartache a little
