From a Departed Beloved Spouse

In this poignant poem, Grandma Stella shares a message from the perspective of a beloved spouse who has passed on, offering comfort and reassurance to their grieving partner.

As I sit in heaven
And watch you every day,
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away.

I hear you when you’re laughing
And watch you as you sleep;
I even place my arms around you
To calm you as you weep.

I see you wish the days away
Begging to have me home,
So I try to send you signs
So you know you’re not alone.

Don’t feel guilty that you have
Life that was denied to me;
Heaven is truly beautiful
Just you wait and see.

So live your life, laugh again,
Enjoy yourself, be free;
Then I’ll know with every breath you take
You’ll be taking one for me.

Until we meet again
know that I love you…
