THE JOURNEY
As you depart, there comes sadness,
But also an awakening of life and love within us.

We weep, we reminisce, and we hold tighter to those we love,
Well aware of time and knowing well, how it does not exist above.

You board for your journey to where you now belong,
We know you will be meeting with loved ones who have waited for you, so long.

We bid you farewell as you take your first step into your everlasting life,
Where we know, we will all meet again, someday, just on the other side.

As you drift far off, a whisper of gratitude lingers in the air,
For the love and the grace, and for the lives that were shared.

Family, in its entirety,
Becomes the encompassing bond that ensures the footing when the last ship sets sail,
The final farewell when the real journey begins.
