Friday Focus: "Remember Me"

 

 

"And God will wipe away all the tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things have passed away."
(Revelation 21:4)

To the living I am gone,

 

To the sorrowful, I will never return.

 

To the angry, I was cheated,

 

But to the happy, I am at peace, 

 

And to the faithful, I have never left. 

 

I cannot speak, but I can listen.

 

I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.

 

So as you stand upon a shore gazing 

 

at a beautiful sea-remember me.

 

As you look in awe at a mighty forest

 

and its grand majesty-remember me.

 

As you look upon a flower and admire

 

its simplicity-remember me.

 

Remember me in your heart,

 

Your thoughts, and your memories

 

Of the times we loved,

 

The times we cried, the times we fought,

 

The times we laughed.

 

For if you always think of me,

 

I will never have gone.
