For Everyone Who's Ever Lost Someone

[TheBlackadder]

Hey All,

We got my mom an ornament with my Grandma's Picture in it and engraved with the last verse of this poem.

I know everyone has lost a loved one, either this year, or in the past. For us, this year, it was my Grandma Marian.

So here's the poem, I wanted to send it around and share it with everyone.

Oceans of Love, ~Marian~

"Merry Christmas From Heaven"

I still hear the songs, I still see the lights

I still feel the love, on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes, and all of your cares

I'll even remind you, to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you, you still make me proud

You stand head and shoulders, above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment, to stay in His grace

I came here before you, to help set your place

You don't have to be perfect all of the time

He forgives you the slip, if you continue the climb

To my family and friends, please be thankful today

I'm still close beside you, in a new special way

I love you all dearly, now don't shed a tear

Cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year

That was beautiful. I've got to say, I've never been too religious myself, but that poem touched a sensitive fiber deep inside of me, probably because it reminded me of my grandfather. Thanks for sharing something so personal.

P.D. I'm sorry for your loss.

How very lovely! This really touches deeply into the warmth and light that our loved ones leave for us when it is their time to pass. Thank you for sharing something so profound with us.

I am terribly sorry for your loss, your grandmother had to be one incredible woman to leave such a wonderful imprint on her loved ones.

it's so simple, yet so touching

"He forgives you the slip, if you continue the climb."

I love this...
