A Fallen Limb

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that says,
“Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times,
the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived
while I was strong.
Continue my heritage,
I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely
the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease,
my soul is at rest.
Remembering all,
how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions,
no matter how small.
Go on with your life,
don’t worry about falls.
I miss you all dearly,
so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes
we’re together again.”

I created a free printable based on “A Fallen Limb” in loving memory of my aunt Beth, who died of glioblastoma (brain cancer) after a truly inspiring two-year battle. This poem was read by my aunt Carolyn at a small family gathering to spread Beth’s ashes. It so perfectly expresses Beth’s positive attitude; life filled with good friends, world travel and adventure; and, always, love of family. Rest in peace, Beth.
