I saw this today on LinkedIn in the Group for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). It really moved me, and with permission of the author, Joyce Marie Sheldon, please see this excerpt from her second book, Seekers and Dreamers. I mentioned it tonight as our "Mission Moment" at the TNT group walk, and am pleased to present it here.
If this were my last hour
I would gather those I love
in a circle ‘round my feet
and these would be my words …
May the vibrations of my soul
Echo within your heart
With sounds of comfort and of peace
May the whispers of my spirit
linger in your daydreams
with visions of serenity and joy
And my the words that I have spoken
Through all the years of our togetherness
reside inside your being
all the days of your life
May my words cause you to reach
for more than you think possible to attain
and to become more than you think
possible to become
And the memories,
Ah, the memories!
All the days that we have shared
The tender times
The times of woe
May each lesson learned
and every moment spent
be forever a part of your daydreams
May you always know that my spirit will linger
close to your heart and that forever –
forever!
I will be yours.
