My Requiem

How peaceful now to rest my head
this final time, it's true
my only regret in leaving Earth
is parting dear one from you.

Forgive me, if I turned my head
to pursue a distant star
In search of those I loved so long
and cherished from afar.

Death is but a part of life
don't hold me back with sorrow
Think of me as happy now
No more pain will greet tomorrow.

My spirit will rise to meet the Son
above the grey and dismal day
and there I shall wait patiently
when you too will pass this way.

This is as good as the very best I have ever read on this topic, Debra. It's beauty and quiet dignity seized me. Ten stars is not enough for this masterpiece - but that's all I could give you.

The poem is beautiful. I just lost my only sister and having to deal with the loss is not easy. I cry for my sister every day.
