Blog Your Blessings Sunday : Remembered Joy

8:43 PM    
My mother died in 1995. Although it was expected, I still miss her. When I found this blessing, it resonated deeply with me about my mom. I love you, mom. Your grandson grew to be a fine man and the trees you planted are now 30 feet tall.

Remembered Joy


Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...


I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.


A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.


Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
