The Eulogy Letter

 Press play.

What would your eulogy letter say?

Although I leave

Behind

So many to grieve

Please don't cry

For I have loved my beautiful life

And have no fear to die

For through faith

I know 

Angels with bright wings

With turtle-doves

That sing

Will find me

To guide me

Beyond the clouds of this world's largest sky

Way past Saturn Rings

For my heart is clear

And filled with all the wonderful things 

I hold dear

Like you all

My family and friends 

So hold on to your sad tears

This is not the end

For I have danced hand in hand with love 

In the early morning rain

And sunshine 

 

Savored its sweet taste and pain 

In my beating chest as my heart pined

Kissed and fought 

For peace

For the oppressed 

With all the many buttons 

I could find 

To press

So of me do not cry

For fear of death 

No fear 

Have I

For my God 

Now waits for me

Smiling 

Beaming 

In the shadows

By the silver gates

In the eternal green redeeming meadows

So take this

As my final kiss 

Goodbye

My eulogy letter 

For remember 

When you hear this

Trust me

Good friends and true love

Never die

And knowing

Loving and seeing

You all 

Has been my utmost pleasure 

And I can only hope and pray  

You'll keep doing your best in some way 

Therefore, in closing

Good night and

God bless 

Remember me

Just another loved one

Walking to find their salvation 

In the Holy Sea
