Final Journey ( Archived) (13)

Jan 27, 2009 4:51 PM CST Final Journey
You have set out for an alien country
a journey to be made by one
I can not follow you
My time will arrive soon enough
no way to reach over that chasm and pull you back
When you shed the flesh and bones and stepped into eternity
Too young to leave us
Full of spirit and memories
you had your whole life in front of you
Gone in a blink of an eye.
Reminding us how frail we are

My mind is mute
no adequate words of comfort for your family
escape these lips
The terrible sorrow is to be born
there is no escape
Even in the midst of the endless night of grief
there is hope
that your spirit will never cease
is now engaged in a destination
Where arms of those who have made that final journey
will welcome you

Thanks all sorry its such a downer a friend of mine lost a young family member and this is the only way I know how to deal is to write it out.

My friend, even in such a sorrow filled time there is always some spark of brilliance.
Sorry about the loss. At least the positive that remain or are borne of any situation can always comfort and patch the rents in the soul.
hug
