Memorial Poem

I wrote this with the intention to use it for Briana's memorial, but never did.

In this, all of life
There is only one thing I know as sure
No, not what I see, that which surrounds
Only this is true and pure
I know this I cannot see
But, here, in my heart of hearts
I know it’s meant to be

I will see you again
Watch the heavens open so wide
In the light of His glory
With you by my side
Angels will sing His praise
And with you
I will spend all eternity’s days

Yes, in my life
I will not grieve my last day
As I draw my last breath
I know all will be okay
Not one tear will I cry
Nor worry will I fret
I will welcome this last -
‘Goodbye’

Because I will see you again
Watch the heavens open so wide
In the light of His glory
With you by my side
Angels will sing His Praise
And with you
I will spend all eternity’s days

People, don’t cry for me
When this day arrives
Don’t shed one tear
This is the reason I survived
Be it tomorrow or twenty-thousand from then
I wait, assured
My long journey will be fulfilled
When

I see her again
Watch the heavens open so wide
In the light of His glory
With her by my side
And the angels will sing His Praise
And with her
I will spend all of eternity’s days
- In memory of my precious daughter,
Briana Marie
