Last wish
Although my earthly body may have failed me
Do not fear, I will always be near
My spirit and presence are only a breath away
Close your eyes, calm your mind, and recall the memories we made that day
The joy, laughter, or meal we shared
I gave you life’s most precious gift because I cared
Grieve for a while but you must progress
For this life is just a stepping stone to eternal bliss
Remember my smile, joyful spirit, and laugh
Remind yourself, it won’t be the last…
For we will reunite in a much better place
Find solace in God’s love, promises, and amazing grace!
