Rest in the Light

How strange it is, to write these words,
So distant, so surreal.
And yet, we have this simple truth,
Without the means to feel…

I wonder when this numb will pass,
A sort of sleep while I’m awake,
Perhaps it’s just as well it’s slow,
And give it time to take.

For something in this bitter pill,
Is awfully hard to swallow,
We didn’t have the time we should.
I thought we’d have tomorrow.

But somehow we will find our steps,
To bring some form of balance,
Though things will never be the same,
At that’s the current challenge.

And we have the faith we need to heal,
To fill the void you’ve left,
Though all of us would say right now,
We’ve felt a form of theft.

So, as I write, it feels I’m off,
These words were meant for you.
But to know the hurt we feel right now,
Is also something true.

But rest in knowing, we are so strong,
We’ll find a new beginning,
And know you’re in a better place,
Not caught here with us or sitting.

So please…

Be at peace, my sister, your time is here,
To rest within the Light,
Your work is done, your pain is gone,
You’ve no more battles to fight.

Enjoy the time you have today,
Be free of the sickness you’ve had,
For now you can breathe like never before,
And spend some time with Dad.

And you can take a seat with him,
To watch down over us,
For Heaven knows, we need some Angels,
Cause we tend to cause a fuss…

And rest in knowing, how much you’re loved,
Even when it’s been hard to say,
And you’ll live forever within our hearts,
So you’ll never be far away.

All my love, always… your brother.
