Letter to Home

A letter from the other side to give hope and strength to those left behind.

 

Letter to Home

 

Worry not for me,

I’ve found a new home

It’s not that I didn’t like the old one,

But this one is so much nicer,

And though I miss everyone terribly

I can say I see you every day

I hear your thoughts and kind words

I see your sadness as you miss me.

 

Worry not now.

This place is so much nicer,

And I’ve met so many who send their love

I’m not supposed to send this,

But they let me do this once

Because they say you miss me so much,

And no one here wants to see you so sad.

This place, they won’t let me describe

They say you must come see for yourself

But don’t rush, not that I don’t miss you or want to see you.

 

You see, my new home was ready for me

But yours, well there’s a new coat of paint for the walls,

And I’m not sure I like the carpet they picked out

And the stairs weren’t quite to my liking

But the view is just what you would want.

It’s just not ready for you quite yet

So haste not to come see me so soon

 

Besides, there’s plenty of time

Once you all arrive.

We’ll sit and laugh at all our silliness

And we’ll do that until

We find others new to this place.

 

They say I have to send this now

So I’ll close with a heavenly kiss

I hope this finds you well

My memories of you live so clearly

Good times all, the bad, if any are all gone

For now I share my love for you with others

As I welcome someone new at the gate.

Goodbye for now, it’ll be only a moment to me.

I LOVE it! I am not a religious person, so cannot really declare the drawn to this particular poem; but I enjoy spirituality, and live my life filled with love and compassion; and whatever religious belief or spiritual alignment any person chooses; this poem sends chills to the core. We have all found ourselves losing loved ones, and no matter where we come from, this poem touches that very moment.
Comfort, yes, but Love. I feel Love in this. Tears of joy and compassion fill my eyes and I must admit the love I have for this.

This is such a wonderful, warm, and heartfelt piece, and thank you for weaving it so beautifully!
