Last week my uncle died from a brief battle with cancer. Although this a poem I recently published, I wish to do so again this week in memory of a very special man who I was blessed to have in my life. I love and miss you, Uncle Stan.
Please don’t be sad
God’s calling me home
to a bright, beautiful place
where the sun always shines
and love is free to roam
You know I don’t want to go
I’d rather stay here with you
but my work here is done
There’ll be nothing left for me to do
You may be crying those sad, lonely tears but do know this,
I will be free from the pain
So rest your fears
I’ll always love you
I’ll take our memories with me
for I’ll never forget how things
used to be
There’s just one thing I ask of you
One job that you must do
Carry on with me in your heart
and never allow us to be apart
This isn’t the end
My love for you
I’ll continue to send
Please don’t be sad
God’s called me home

My condolences to your dear Uncle Stan. Please keep his memory alive by doing some of the things he does, and some of the things you use to do together. Or do one routine a week or month that he used to do. That’s one way of always remembering him. Memories are gifts that keeps on giving.
Thanks so much, Annelise. I really appreciate your comforting words.
God bless you.
Amy, thank you for this. It’s beautiful and it seems as though your uncle is speaking to you through your pen! I lost my uncle at the beginning of 2020, but his mind was lost ages ago. I feel his presence though and do miss him. I look forward to seeing him again after this journey here in the earth! Thank you my dear. This is beautiful! All my heart! Here for you.
