Another angel has earned his wings, he is walking the golden path to stand at the side of our Father in heaven, I always say that the ones who make the journey to paradise have passed all of their tests and have made it....that is the goal for each of us is it not? To make it to heaven?
I am sorry I do not know this man, I do recognize his picture but am not sure if I ever knew him personally, I do know that my heart is filled with sadness and woe for the ones he is leaving behind.
If you will kneel in prayer with me it would be so very appreciated.
Father we come to you on bended knees asking that you give this family and friends all of your love and support as they mourn the loss of their beloved, that you will take each one into your lap and warp them with your robes of comfort and peace. Father hold them for as long as it takes to stand on their own and allow them to feel Tim's spirit, allow them to know that even with his physical body being lifeless his spirt and his soul will live eternally. Allow them Father to sense his presence and to know that they will never be more than an memory away from him. He will live in their hearts and always be a bright spot in their thoughts. Father as Tim makes his journey to paradise, hold his hand and calm the fear he might have, allow his loved ones who have been so eager to receive him to come with you, to offer him hugs and gentle kind words, Tim as you make this journey feel the love from the ones who wait as well as the ones who are waiting her to join you. Father we ask this very moment that you impress upon each one a funny moment in time with Tim and allow that to be their strength to get through this heartbreak. In the name of Jesus Christ our savior we ask for peace, calm, comfort, and a love that only you can give. Amen.
A Life Has Ended
A life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
the memories of times, have come to an end,
their threads wove the fabric of an earlier day.
A life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
sunrises and sunsets, bright days and dark nights
circled again and again, and gave context to this life,
moment after moment, their life was lived each day.
A life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
lives have been touched by the dear one's journey,
laughter, tears, hopes, fears, a life has come to an end
memories hold their spirit alive, in my own life.
A life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
the loss of future moments, that will not be,
grateful for moments shared, that nourished me,
moments lived, in casual belief, they would never end.
A part of me has ended, with the passing of a friend,
be they gone from the earthly plane, their spirit soars,
to renew again, in summerland, heaven or another life,
I know not where, but their love remains with me,
for in this life, we friends, did share.
I miss my friend, but they will always be near, inside
of me, inside you, and all who took time to hear,
the music of this life so dear, a life now silent,
living only in the memory, of those who survive.
