I Heard You Passed (Poem)

My Aunt Lorna Atwood (my Mom's sister)

(24 Mar, 1932- 12 Oct, 2011)

I heard you passed.

I heard you passed the other day

A frog jumped in my throat

Sadness, tears & some regret

Of the letters left un-wrote.

But then a tender feeling

Came into my heart

I’m sure you know I love you

That much I did impart.

There are no worries in heaven

Loved ones there to greet

Who have missed you sorely

The reunions must be sweet.

So don’t you worry about a thing

We’ll help each other through

The days and weeks ahead of us

As we live here without you.

I think that absence is a lesson

That Father would have us learn

We have to taste of loneliness,

For togetherness us to yearn.

Next time I get to see your face

We’ll have to part no more

and we will live for-ever

Upon that blissful shore.
