Good Night Poem by Curtis Johnson

Good Night
by Curtis Lee Johnson

Bright lights of love racing through my brain
Sweet drops of peace I see falling like rain

With my family, in my home, I, for now remain
From the North and the South, you all came

My siblings and friends, sharing in my pain
You heard the dark steps of death and sang

I feel the warm blood flowing in my veins
After tonight things will never be the same

Your dear time and prayers are not in vain
Thanks to all of you who have loved me so much
You prayed and sang; and you gave me one last touch

To my husband, my son, and my daughter
I want to say, I am sorry, I cannot stay

Like gently dripping sand in the hour glass
So will your deep agony of loss slowly pass

In time an end will come to your bitter pain
Then you will remember what we have gained

And now the time has come for me to go
I see heaven's angels gathering at my door
It’s not goodbye, but goodnight. I love you. (written cj2006
