Farewell, My Dear

[ 1 ] May 23, 2012 AD |

This is a poem I felt compelled to write when I was thinking of one of my mom’s uncles, her godfather at baptism. I don’t know why I was thinking about him. We only ever had one conversation, back when he was sick, a few months before he died. He had so many books that the reader in me was going crazy. I asked him about those books, and he told me the topics were about history and religion. Those are the only words we ever exchanged, but this particular April night my heart felt like he was here.

It’s actually a song. I played with the piano app on my mom’s iPad and worked out the notes. It can be read as a poem, too. I think this is something a lot of people need to hear from their loved ones who have gone to Heaven, and I’m excited to share them with you. God Bless!

Farewell, my dear.
 So long! Don’t fear,
Your God is here
tonight.

His love is grand
So He’ll take your hand
and with Him you’ll be
all right.

He sings like the ocean kisses the sand
He counts every step you take.
His eyes always on you! He is the King
Whose promises He never breaks.

So be strong, my love–
I’m always near,
with Jesus in your heart.

Wait in hope
for that glorious day
we’ll no longer be apart.

Farewell, my dear.
So long! Don’t fear,
Your God is here
tonight.

His love is grand
So He’ll take your hand
and with Him you’ll be
all right.
