L ETTING G O The angels gathered near your side, so very close to you, For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through. I thought about so many things, as I held tightly to your hand. How I wished that you were strong and happy once again. But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky. Where Jesus held His outstretched arms It was time to say goodbye. I struggled with my selfish thoughts, for I wanted you to stay. So we could walk and talk again Like we did just yesterday. But Jesus knew the answer, And I knew you loved Him so. So I gave to you life’s greatest gift, the gift of letting go…… By Judith Bulock Morse A CKNOWLEDGMENT
