Remembering Departed Loved Ones

Hearing this song by Mariah Carey and BoyzII Men always successfully manage to make me remember my loved ones who have gone before us. I know in my heart we shall meet each other one sweet day.

Alone,But Never Alone

Alone,yet never quite alone. 

I have an empty chair but sometimes in the silence,

I imagine you are there.

The good companion of the past,

no longer here with me;

and yet in some mysterious ways,

you keep me company.

Thought or spirit?

Does it matter?

Words are meaningless.

I only know that in my times of great loneliness,

I felt that you are somewhat near.

Though nothing's seen or said,

the bitter moment passes

and my heart is comforted.

I receive the strength I need,

am rescued from despair.

Maybe that's the way God works-

the answer to a prayer.

Though the pain is never lost

and the future is unknown,

I face the years that lie ahead,

Alone,yet not alone...

The pain and sadness of losing people we love never go away. We just get used to it.
