Finally… She Rests…
I don’t know if this should be here or if it’s inspiring or anything…
I wrote this poem upon acceptance of what has happened, and the realization that God’s answer may not be what we’re asking for… but what’s best for us and our love ones…
Finally… She Rests…
Too long have you been carrying the burden
Too long you’ve been bearing the pain
That in the middle of the night
I hear your silent cries
All these years you’ve been strong
You never gave up for us
You filled us all with hope
All because of the love in your heart
In your weakness you were able to push us
These in spite of the pains you kept inside
I always love to see your smile
Like there’s nothing wrong inside
But strength maybe in your spirit
The body is nothing but flesh
It feels the fatigue… it feels the pain
And would definitely seek to rest
As much as I would like to hold on
Though I don’t want to let you go
I know how you have suffered much
Cause I’ve been there with you
So I bid you now finally, goodbye
To a place where pain will not be a part
So you could finally be at peace
And from all the burdens, be free
I will no longer hear you cry
For you will never be in pain
Yet I will always feel your smile
Cause your love will always remain…
Finally… you can rest my love…

Oh my… Now, I understand your email. Roy, thanks for sharing. It would have taken me a long time to see this if not for the breadcrumbs you left on my mail.
I love the raw power in your poem. To let go can be the greatest manifestation of one’s love, considering the circumstances.
