What Would I Have Said Poem by Katherine Graven

What would I had said if I had had another tomorrow
Where my confused mind was clear with only unspoken thoughts
Would I weep with the thought of all the love that was give to me
While I waited impatiently as God’s angels gathered and sang in harmony

Would I hold on to my children with all my might
Would I find that the people I love had unspoken regrets
Would I forgive everyone who I felt done me harm
Would I be forgiven for the hurt I may have caused someone

But the thing I know that I would say
To all my loved ones that I left yesterday
Is thank you for all the love we shared through the years
Please do not weep for me
For in your heart I will always be near

Hush now, please do not cry
For I will never say good bye
Whether we meet again today or tomorrow
We will unite someday with forgotten memories of sorrow
