Farewell For Now

A poem for Ted

God granted us mercy and peace for your frail body
Your soul was so big and beautiful that it just didn't have room
I am so caught up in sadness and gloom
There are times at night when I just weep and weep
I should be thankful to our Lord for ending your pain
But my heart is so broken and will never be the same

I will love you for a lifetime and a little bit more
I want you to know that I am going to be ok
I will still mourn for you a little each day
My faith is strong and one day years from now my heart might just mend
Our love is so strong that it will never end

Thank you for the beautiful times we had
I will treasure them forever and always
I am a better person just by having known you
You showed me love and kindness that I thought did not exist
I thank God that he sent you to me

Farewell for now my love, for this is just temporary
I know one day in the future we will meet again
I love you forever and then a little more
I am going to be ok for I have the love of our wonderful family and friends
God will ease the pain and let my heart mend.

I love you!
