It's Not Goodbye

Submitted by Wings of Eternity on Fri, 07/10/2020 - 02:44

I'm fine now,
don't you cry.
I'll see you soon,
it's not goodbye.

Remember I'm
always in light,
when you miss me
in the dead of night.

Remember how
much fun we shared.
Remember how
much that we cared.

In our love,
we'll never part.
You'll always have me
in your heart.

Don't you worry,
I'm in God's love,
here in heaven
up above.

I'm fine now,
don't you cry.
I'll see you soon,
it's not goodbye.

Notes

I have struggled for a while with trying to find the emotional energy to post something to AP. I am so saddened to tell you all that my only brother, the one I talked about in my previous story, died unexpectedly in May due to an unknown heart issue. I have been struggling so hard because we were so incredibly close and I was present when he died. It was a quite traumatic experience. This poem I wrote on Father's Day. I had to wrap his present to my dad and I broke down. This poem came to me in its entirety as you see it here. It was almost like he was speaking to my heart in that moment. I know he is in a better place, but I am so heartbroken and miss him so very much.

My friend, I am so incredibly sorry to hear about this devastating loss. I'm sending you thoughts for peace and healing; regardless of how often we all have the opportunity to engage on here, please know that I'm always here (as Megan said) to lend support in any capacity you need. I know from this beautiful, heartfelt, and honest poem that you're able to find comfort in the fact that you will see your brother again. My heart is with you.

Thank you Madeline for your sweet words and condolences. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful extended family on AP. It seems no matter how much time goes by, there is still such an amazing connection with my AP family, whether old friends or new. Thank you for being one of the original ones who has stuck with me on AP even after all these years. Sending my gratitude and love to you! Blessings, Heather (Wings of Eternity)

Thank you Libby for your prayers! It is never too late to pray and in some ways, I think it is needed more now than before. Going into the holiday season is going to be very hard for my family and I, so we can definitely use more prayers! Blessings to you! Heather (Wings of Eternity)
