When you remember me, please don't weep

This beautiful poem by Emma Marie Atwell provided great comfort for me when I recently lost my mother. I hope she will forgive me for tinkering a little with her words.

“When you remember me please don’t weep,

My body was tired and I chose to sleep,

I’m not far away, my soul lives on,

I watch over you and everyone.

When you feel sad, and life seems so blue,

My arms will always be wrapped around you.

So don’t be sad, have no fear,

I am with God but will always be near.

I’ll be with you, every hour, every day,

My soul walks beside you and that’s where I’ll stay.”
