Our loved ones departed still live with us yet As they watch from Heaven above, For hearts that have truly loved never forget, And partings but increase our love. How well we remember those days long ago, To our hearts they still comfort lend, While the years may bring sorrow and grief we know, Still the present marks not the end. Those days in fond memory ever remain, Their solace no power can destroy; Some day we shall meet with our loved ones again When sorrow will give way to joy. To the tasks that remain we must still be true, To the faith and the love they gave, Do the things that we know they would have us do With a heart both cheerful and brave. Then let us with faith wait the coming of day When partings forever are o'er, When the shadows of earth shall all flee away As morning breaks forevermore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ROLLING ENGLISH ROAD by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: HIAWATHA'S FASTING by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW ON THE AMOROUS AND PATHETIC STORY OF ARCADIUS AND SEPHA by L.
