WHEN A LOVED-ONE DEPARTS

when Loved-one must leave you-
Do not shed lonely tears-
Be brave in everything you do----
And God will guide your years.

Wish not to go-before you're due-
As others need your love,
God's word and will are ever true-
On earth, and in heaven above.

Live through your life in useful ways-
God's hand is ever there;
Fret not on lonely, empty days
When time there is, for prayer.

The fight over death, our saviour won-
through the dark vale unto Glory,
He said, ''THY WILL, Not Mine, Be Done''-
And hence, The Greatest story.

So live your life - not in despair-
and remember Gathsemane,
where in agony, He knelt in prayer-
To save souls such as we.

Now, when a loved -one leaves you-
Don't grieve or question, why?
'Tis only time, you know its true-
For they await you, in the kingdom High.

lift up your heart and sing his praise
Don't throw your thoughts to gloom,
Your loved-one went, to walk his ways-
and to prepare, with him your room.

This is really quite emotional, especial how I know hard it was for you to write this. And through your pain a testimony that inspite of the pain, God is still God.

I am at loss of words, so beautiful, so loving, you are and have always been my inspiration. May the good Lord that has always comforted you, continue to bless and keep you.
Your life is a testimony for people to say come and see what the Lord has done.

Lovely and touching post.
