A Poem In Memory Of Thomas James
A limb has fallen
from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice,
that says, "Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times,
the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived
while I was here.
Continue my heritage,
I'm counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely
the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease,
my soul is at rest.
Remembering all,
how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions,
no matter how small.
Go on with your life,
don't worry about falls
I miss you all dearly,
so be stalwart and
courageous keep up your spirit.
Until the day comes.....
and we're together again.
