Pardoned

by

Heather L. Campbell

June 24, 1999


Yesterday, a prisoner was set free.


No more suffering in her failed body,


No longer days spent lying in her bed,


No longer living life in her head.


She had visitors, she was not alone.


Just a smile is all she had shown.


She's free, she's free to sing and dance.


She's free, she's free of her circumstance.


She thought of others and kept in touch,


All her family loved her very very much.


She believed in the Bible and the Lord above,


She is now free of pain, above in God's Love.


Please "Celebrate her new life today!"


Though others may find that odd to say,


She's free, she's free, there's no more torment,


She's free, she's with the Lord for every moment.

Thanks Carla! This lady was like a Grandmother to me! When her husband died in 1979 I wrote her a poem about him and the minister read my poem at his funeral and said it was by someone he thought of as a Granddaughter. I only wrote the poem cause I had no money for flowers and I wanted to do something. She was a very kind soft hearted soul.

Thanks Sandy, loved the sparkle tag!

Thanks Ann, I wrote it 8 years ago and when my mother died three years ago I customized it to her and read it at her funeral.
