What do you think of this poem?

[C.Ann]

I think I found the perfect poem for the opening page of the scrapbooks that I am making for my late DH's children..
---------------------------------

I Do Believe

There is nothing I can do,
to make him come back..
There are no words I can say,
that can replace the words you long to hear..

There are no answers I can give,
that will satisfy your questions..
There is not another soul that I can introduce you to
that will ever replace his..
And, there is no love that I can offer
that will ever replace the love you shared..

I can not promise your broken heat will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy..
I will not lie and tell you he will come back..

He never really left..

I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday..

He is every step you take..
He is in everything you do..
He is in the air you breathe..
He is every beat of your heart..

He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him..

What do you think? Comforting - or too emotional?

I think it fits perfectly.

If you need a more emotional one for later in the book there is this one.

When I Must Leave You

by Helen Steiner Rice

When I must leave you
For a little while-
Please do not grieve
And shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to you
Through the years,

But start out bravely
With a gallant smile;
And for my sake
And for my name
Live on and do
All things the same,

Feed not your lonliness
On empty days,
But fill each waking hour
In useful ways,

Reach out your hand
In comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort you
And hold you near;

And never, never
Be afraid to die
For I am waiting for you in the sky!


when my great grandma died, we framed the poem with a picture of my grandma and my great grandma and gave it to my grandma.
