I Promise

My body is weary - it is broken and bent.

My breathing is labored and my energy’s spent.

I do not remember the place I’m being sent.

Please help me so I will not fear.

As you cross to the light your spirit will reveal

its perfection; and you’ll know there is nothing to heal.

In the peace and the joy, wondrous love you will feel

as the home you remember draws you near.

The people that I love are all losing sleep,

and each in his turn is starting to weep.

They realize I have an appointment to keep.

Please help them so they do not fear.

As this spirit you know fades out of your sight,

it appears and is welcomed amid joy and delight

by the souls who await in the love and the light.

A journey ends for this one you hold dear.

So for now, my dear friend, as I bid you adieu

know your support and your love have helped get me through.

When it’s your turn to cross I’ll be there to greet you,

now we know there is nothing to fear.
