Thoughts
A light went out on Earth for me
The day we said goodbye
And on that day a star was born,
The brightest in the sky
Reaching through the darkness
With its rays of purest white
Lighting up the Heavens
As it once lit up my life
With beams of love to heal
The broken heart you left behind
Where always in my memory
Your lovely star will shine
xx

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left,
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
Or it can be full of the love you shared,
You can cry and close your mind,
Or you can smile, open your eyes love and go on. <3

For my Poppie who loved the world and all of its beauty. This poem made me think of you. I miss you x
"Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die."
