Lost Memories A Eulogy. Poem by John I Nash

Do not mislay the memories we shared for at this moment in time be aware nothing else is there. They will keep you warm and heal your heart with their embrace.

Love our children twofold as much as when I was near and dear for they mourn my absence as you.

Together we often walked the secluded paths of life, hand in hand talking of what we perceived trivial, that now seem so significant.

Look to my dogs welfare, treat him kindly, for I will embrace him soon, once again running my hands through his fur and look into old faithful eyes that severed me well these many years.

I will subscribe love to my Grandchildren and abide with them for eternity. If God should allow me in his presence my first appeal shall be for their protection.

My lovely life companion, wife, friend, and my sunlight on many a rainy day, if only I could say and express the love I have for you just this one day, it would forever cure the world of any dismay. In the heavens we shall meet again and for all time proclaim our love to the universe.

Family and friends do not feel sad for me, no longer must I endure affliction or pain, do not look into this shell filled box to find me for I will be long away, in God's hands my fate, soul and spirit is this day.

Please all, pray for me, that God will forgive my many transgressions and allows me worthy to sit at his side. To all of you my warmest heart felt goodbye.
