BEAUTIFUL POEM TO SHARE

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOMETHING I CAME ACROSS ON ELLEN BURNT PAGE I THOUGH EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO READ IT I KNOW IT MADE ME FEEL GOOD AND THE POEM IS TRUE TO ME. I MUST START THINKING AS THE POEM SAYS

I'M GONE NOW BUT I'M STILL VERY NEAR.

DEATH CAN NEVER SEPARATE US.

EACH TIME YOU FEEL A GENTLE BREEZE.

IT'S MY HAND CARESSING YOUR FACE.

EACH TIME THE WIND BLOWS.

IT CARRIES MY VOICE WHISPERINE YOUR NAME.

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS YOU HAIR EVER SO SLIGHTY, THINK OF IT AS ME PUSHING A FEW STRAY HAIRS BACK IN PLACE.

WHEN YOU FEEL A FEW RAINDROPS FALL ON YOUR FACE

IT'S ME PLACING SOFT KISSES.

AT NIGHT LOOK AT THE SKY AND SEE THE STARS SHINING SO BRIGHTLY,

I'M ONE OF THOSE STARS AND I AM WINKING AT YOU AND SMILING WITH DELIGHT

FOR NEVER FORGET YOUR THE APPLE OF MY EYE AND MY BUTTERFLY.

THANK YOU ELLEN FOR POSTING THIS POEM.

That is a beautiful poem. I would like to share one that i ran across also

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I and you are you

Whatever we were to each other

That we are still

Call me by my old familiar name

Speak to me in the easy way you always used

Put no difference into your tone

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

Laugh as we always laughed

At the little jokes we always enjoyed together

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort

Without the ghost of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant

It is the same as it ever was

There is absolute unbroken continuity

What is death but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of mind

Because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you for an interval

Somewhere very near

Just around the corner

All is well.

Nothing is past; nothing is lost

One brief moment and all will be as it was before

How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

Hopefully i will be able to follow these words someday soon

Those are beautiful poems and I'd like to add a little one that a friend sent me when my Jerry passed away. Here it is:

"God saw you getting tired and the cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you and whispered "come with me.

With tearful eyes I watched you and saw you pass away,
although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest,
God broke my heart to prove, he only takes the best."
