Welcome

What a beautiful memoriam, Carol.

Very beautiful!

You're welcome Carol .
It feels sad, yet hopeful at the same time. I think you are expressing yourself very well .

Was this a recent loss Carol?

Carol, I did not realize he had passed. I read his blog and comments here and there when I first joined Opera, but had impression he was still going through treatment. I said a prayer for him when I first saw the requests to do so, even though I had never talked to him. I am so sorry to hear he lost his battle. I lost a sister to cancer, and have a brother who is in remission right now, so I know what a devastating disease it is. So sorry about Alan. When did this happen?

"...for God has called your spirit home~your journey here is done. "

This is a beautiful, compassionate, composition and memorium Carol.
Thank you for sharing your words.

sometimes your presense is more important than words Carol,
in this poem you give heart felt messages

Very touching and beautiful words Carol. So sorry for your loss.

Sorry I misunderstood Carol. Glad it wasn't Alan. Somehow my mind just made that connection looking at LeaZZ blog. Anyway, I sympathize with their loss whoever it is.

We must grieve,
And in that grieving
Let out the sadness
It shall have room
To blow away
Time allows mourning
A place, for the moment
And them to pass on
Merging with shades of memory
Those we lose rest
We who are left behind
Carry the burden of sorrow whose weight is beyond measure
Our strength will return
But first we must grieve
We may not recover
From our Loss
But live is a healer
And if we believe
That this life is only
A step on a longer award then our steps are that much easier
And if we believe that this life is finite
And a closure at end
Then we must make the best of what we allowed
There will always be
Those who love us
We are never truly alone
Though we may never be answered in our dark best hour
We shall endure..

This was given to me from Peter's mum the day after he passed away.. So I am here to share with you..

weine nicht, wenn du mich liebst ...
der tod ist nichts
ich habe mich nur auf die andere seite begeben
ich bin ich
du bist du
was wir füreinander waren, sind wir immer noch
gib mir den namen, den du mir immer gegeben hast
sprich zu mir , wie du es immer getan hast
gebrauche nicht einen anderen ton
nimm keine feierliche oder traurige haltung an
lache weiter über das,
worüber wir miteinander gelacht haben
bete, lächle, denk an mich, bete mit mir
möge mein name zuhause immer ausgesprochen werden wie bisher
ohne jegliches pathos, ohne eine spur von schatten
das leben bedeutet, was es immer bedeutet hat
es ist, wie es immer gewesen ist
der faden ist nicht zerrissen
weshalb soll ich deinen gedanken entwichen sein
nur weil ich außerhalb deines blickfeldes bin?
ich bin nicht weit entfernt
nur auf der anderen seite des weges
siehst du, alles ist gut
du wirst mein herz zurückfinden
du wirst darin die geläuterten
zärtlichkeiten wiederfinden
trockne deine tränen und
weine nicht, wenn du mich liebst.


if you love me, you won't cry …
death means nothing
I just slipped to the other side
I'm still me (and)
you're still you
what we meant to each other,
we still are
call me by the name, you gave to me before
talk to me like you did before
don't change your tone at all
don't go in a solemn or sad attitude
keep laughing about
the things we laughed about together
pray, smile, think of me
and join my prayers
may my name be expressed the way it's been expressed before
without any emotionalism, without any sign of shadow
life means what it meant to us all the time before
it's like it's been all the time before
the thread's not cut at all
why should I've gone off your mind
only because you can't see me anymore?
I'm not so far away
just on the other side of the way
look, everything's alright
you will find my heart again
and you will find the refined endearment within
dry your tears and
.., if you love me, you won't cry

God bless Peter's memory, God bless and rest his soul in heaven...Amin ..Amen

- thanks for posting my prayer-poem here. God bless and watch over you and protect and keep you safe always, Amin / Amen

"Angeliki, thank you. It was from my heart. "

Carol, Your heart is deep and full of love and compassion and your prayer is comforting to the person concerned. God blesses you for this,amen.

Beautiful words for someone who is greiving.

And with others as well... I do hope this person feels the outpouring of love you all have shared from your heart.

You are most welcome. Sometimes the simple poems that say so much with so few words are the ones that touch me the deepest.

Lovely poem, Carol.

Don`t know what to say....

C. *hugs* for you, and all those who grieve at this place.

Amen.. Amin ...

Touching and heart-felt, Carol.

*HUGZ*

OMG I nearly spewed my tea I thought you were talking about LP

jeez!

"It is a poem I wrote for someone who lost a loved one. "

Amen. Rest in peace.

Warming and comforting lovely words.
You show caring and warmth towards those who needs it.
It is allways so hard, so painfull to loose someone.

When thinking of an invissebel "other side" you don`t die.
You moove from one side to the other.
You are still there....right among us, but we just can not see you.

Don`t you ever feel the closeness of some loved onse who passed away?
That is beacause this person are with you even though you can not see or toutch.
I find it so good to believe this. It gives me strength to go on. It gives me opportuity to smile from my heart

Long Live Allan.
Long Live LP.
God bless all.
