Drawn To A Close Poem by Jon M. Nelson

Over many decades I have done a lot of living
I have known many people and done a lot of giving.
Even though I am gone, I’m in a better place,
At some point I hope I put a smile on your face.

God has watched over me after all these years,
So please don’t shed any unnecessary tears.
I am now in heaven standing by God’s side,
I feel that I am home in this place I now reside.

My time on this earth is done and my life has passed,
But hopefully during my years I made memories that last.
Even though my life is over, there’s no reason to grieve,
There comes a time for everyone when we have to leave.

I’ve spent my time on earth and shared a lot of love,
But now I will be watching over you from high above.
I’ve lived a long and full life, I left no tasks undone,
My life has drawn to a close like the setting sun.
