In Memory of my Niece

A time of sorrow, hard to bear,
With some-one missing from her chair.
Why did you plan, O Lord above,
To take this one, so full of love?

Maybe her purpose was fulfilled,
We must accept what you have willed.
Our hearts are heavy with grief and care
With no wife, no mum, no grandma there.

Well, not in sight, one must agree,
But now she is from pain set free.
Her spirit will forever roam
Within the walls that were her home.

So think of her as freed from pain,
In rapturous joy to meet again
The loved ones who have gone before
To peace, with love for evermore.

E B Bishop
