I'm a comin' for you,

What's left to do?

Are you ready?

Who will finish what you started,

After you have departed?

Are you ready?

Never quite had it made?

Too soon this price is paid.

Are you ready?

Did you give enough yet?

Is your legacy set?

Are you ready?

Milestones never reached?

Your dreams are all beached.

Are you ready?

Those places you've never been?

Many sights never seen.

Are you ready?

Did you say goodbye?

Sing a lullaby?

Are you ready?

Keep that bedtime kiss

For the one you'll miss?

Are you ready?

Ready or not,

Time's up!

I dug a hole in the ground for you today

User, taker, false promiser

No matter how many trophies I laid at your feet

No matter how much I bent over backwards

It was never enough

I was never enough

You professed what you did not feel

talked love yet had no inkling

That

it wasn’t only about you

Or what you could get.

Its about what light your candle brings to another’s life

At the end you burnt and hollowed me out

Yet I was unable to let go

You showed me

that

Empty people make things empty

I covered a hole in the ground today

I can walk away now.

There is strength in my legs to carry me.

one step at a time

I don’t need to run

Anger is no longer my crutch

Pain has stopped being my shield

I still have the self doubt

“Why do you carry that? People ask

I reply with a sad smile

Because they do not understand

People with baggage make baggage

I saw a leaf sprout in the ground today

Tender and delicate

Somehow the clouds have parted

The sun is shining again

I have met someone else

He is all colors of the rainbow

Bright and robust

The circle is complete

I have dropped the self doubt

I feel refreshed

My swagger is back now

It took me close to a lifetime but I figured it out

Broken people make broken things

Whole people make things whole

These words come a bit late

They are out of date

Bland with no taste

I know I’m late

Please forgive me

My heart is heavy

Your loss weighs heavy on me

I’m sad and in pain

Because you left us.

With just one silent hush you were gone

These words come a bit late

But I would like to say that on this sad day I choose to celebrate your life

I celebrate your life

You are gone from this earth but forever you remain in our hearts

Your voice still lingers in our ears

You had a clean heart

You are the true definition of selflessness

You always taught us to be teachable and obedient according to the word of God

I celebrate your life

Without you my cousins and I wouldn’t be here

Goodbye grandma

The struggles of this world hurt you no more

For I know you are in a better place with God.

We will forever cherish the sweet memories, the joy, the laughter and positive energy you brought with you.
