Gone From My Sight

I have carried a poem for many years and thought that you may both get a bit of comfort from it. It has helped me several times. Blessings to you both during this natural experience!

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the ocean and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!"

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "HERE SHE COMES!"

That is dying.

heart felt thanks

Just to say a heart felt thanks, all the supportive messages you have left me. Its great to know that people out there do care, Thanks Bob I did get your message. Terry has been to my home this evening and after some delicious chinese take away food, he fell sound asleep with the resulting resounding snoring. I let him sleep. As time went on it was time for him to go home, with an ache in my heart I had to wake him. He was so deep in slumber he did not know where he was or what day it was, I can say now guys I have accepted that the good lord is going to take him. I am ready for that day now, he is suffering now I love my dad bear I have said I love him till death us do part I love him I will support him till the good lord decides to take him to his side I need strength now HBMUK

HBMUK, But love does not stop at death, nor does death stop love. Love is eternal, because the Source of love is eternal. Love is the one thing that can connect this world to the world to come. We know it's not as satisfying as having them and holding them and hearing their voice and laughter, but all you have to do is picture yourself hugging your departed loved one and they receive your love.

Kevin, How are things?

 

[Designgeek]

Oh man, so sorry to hear the news. It's the saddest of all times when someone you love with all your heart is expected to leave this world early.

Tom is right: love does not stop at death, nor does death stop love. His words speak for me about this.
