test
your bed, so very close to
you.
For they knew the pain and
suffering you were going
through.
I thought about so many
things, so I held tightly to your
hand.
Oh, how I wished that you
were strong and happy once
again.
But your eyes were looking
homeward, to that place beyond
the sky.
Where Jesus held his
outstretched arms, it was time
to say good-bye.
I struggled with my selfish
thoughts, for I wanted you to
stay.
So we could walk and talk
again, like we did just
yesterday.
But Jesus knew the answer
and I knew he loved you so,
So I gave to you life's greatest
gift.
The gift of letting go.
