In Her Own Words

My fiancee's aunt passed away unexpectedly yesterday on Christmas. While she was looking at poetry for lost loved ones I wrote this for her. She was a very special woman. 

"In Her Own Words"

I am free
You must let me go.
I'm free to travel to a world 
That is not my own.
I wasnt there 
When the sun came up yesterday.
I wasn't there again today,
But I have not gone away. 
Do not weep for me 
Trying to hold back the tears.
I only hope you know
Just how I loved you 
Through our many years.
Do not let your heart be troubled 
For when home calls the heart
I will be there. 
If you could only see 
That everything is better
When you no longer feel the pain
The burden you carry 
The tears you've cried 
Have not been in vain. 
I will fight your worries 
The what ifs of yesterday 
Remember me for who I was
But I'm alive and well today. 
I heard the somber call
It was a voice so soft though sweet
There was a man standing there 
And he took me off my feet.
I hesitated for a moment 
But he knew what was best 
This prayer is to you my dear friend
That you will learn while you will grow 
And let your heart be at rest.
