"Who Will Always Be The Wind Beneath My Wings"
I Love And Miss You Both So Very Much
spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object
of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch
until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud
just where the sun and sky come down to mingle
with each other. Then someone at my side says,
'There she goes!' "Gone where?
Gone from my sight--that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as
she was when she left my side and just as able
to bear her load of living freight to the places
of destination.
the moment when someone at my side says,
'There she goes!'
there are other eyes watching her coming
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout,
'Here she comes!'
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes,
These things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorow.
My life's been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, and loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now;
HE SET ME FREE!!
