DO NOT MOURN FOR ME WHEN I AM GONE

Do not mourn for me when I am gone, Do not grieve

Or show sorrow

But, remember me when I was young and not riddled by age

Or stricken by illness in any way, shape or form

Rejoice, as God the Father has chosen me, at this time to come

Home

Freed from my earthly form, I shed the bodily figure and SOAR

No more sickness, No more pain, Worry free, no suffering

Left in me.

Whole again in Spirit, I await at Our Father’s Door, as His Angel

Welcomes me while knocking on Heaven’s Door

God the Father, gave to man, an everlasting Life, through the

Sacrifice of His only Son, our savior Jesus Christ

SO shed no tears for me, but hold your head up high, share in

Joy I brought to you, the love, the good times and the fun

Think not or dwell on any pain I may have caused, because my

Earthly vessel, was just as everyone’s, and smitten to the

Same temptations, as ALL of you today, even those

Who have given their Life to God through Christ

His Only Son, are Human Beings First and as

Humans have a tendency to judge.

Take comfort in my Home Going, knowing I have made it

To the Resting Place, and Rejoice for me, and be happy,

Knowing that I am finally at Peace. Celebrate My Life in

The Actions that you do, think of me fondly as I walk

With you.

 

A Poem in Remembering Joe Louis Larkins Sr., who went home to the Father on January 19, 2018. With Love and Heartfelt Sympathy to the Family.

My Love, Respect, and Unity with family, friends and all.

My favorite memory of Joe Sr. is sitting with him at the counter on a stool, talking, waiting for lunch and him drinking a soda, sipping it through a straw, and tapping his feet to the music.

We Rejoice at Each Precious Moment Shared, Joe Sr-Gone But Not Forgotten!
