Jeanie Hendry

You always read my blogs each day. I had to send you little notes to tell you not to worry if a poem was sad because you would call or write to check on me if I did not. You would send me little notes to share an article you'd found or a memory of someone we knew, a place that we had been.  You always finished with "Love Aye". I will miss those notes, but I know that I don't have to miss your love. That you gave to me forever.  Love Aye, Jeanie. Love Aye.

 

I knew this day was coming on,

I knew that you would go

But still I cannot stop the tears,

Or even slow their flow.  

I know that you are in His arms

And all your pain is gone.

I also know that you expect

That we will carry on.

The place in my heart where you lived

Will echo for a while,

But it will warm with happiness

Remembering your smile.  

So I will weep while I rejoice,

That you live in His Grace.

And I know your love lives in me

For each tear bears its trace.
