No more my footsteps in the snow, No more the guidance I can show For the time has come for me to pass, to a place where footsteps have no past.
As the winter fades and the summer comes, and my footsteps melt away The marks I made that winters day, will forever stay.
The pain you have inside your heart, filled so complete with grief Just shows to me inside my heart the truth of that belief.
Where I have gone is where I belong With my husband of so long So do not weep and do not cry For as I know; you will get by. TBC

About this poem:
My mother died New Year’s Day and she was quite a renowned poet in her younger years. We all forgot about this until we saw these poems. However I cannot understand them as it takes a special person to write and understand them. I need to write one for her funeral. I have put something together and was just wondering about your thought s on it. It is not complete but advice would be gratefully received.

No more my footsteps in the snow, No more the guidance I can show For the time has come for me to pass; to a place where footsteps have no past.

Where I have gone is where I belong, with my husband of so long So do not weep and do not cry with tear of pain for days gone by For as I know what you believe I will always be there in your hour of need.
There appears to be two different versions for the last line, here. Not sure why but I like the one below far better than "you will get by". (seems a bit cold.)
For as I know what you believe I will always be there in your hour of need.
Love the poem and the sentiment.
I am sorry for your great loss. May your loved ones bring you comfort. Anna
