Poem read by Nicola at The Committal 19th January 2019

Remembered Joy Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I follow the plan God laid for me I saw his face, I heard his call I took his hand and left it all I could not stay another day To love, to laugh, to work or play Tasks left undone must stay that way And if my parting has left a void Then fill it with remembered Joy A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things, I too shall miss My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much Good times, good friends A loved ones touch Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don’t shorten yours with undue grief Be not burdened with tears of sorrow Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow
