Poems by Jac Judy A. Campbell

The strongest branch has fallen
From our family tree.
God had his way; he's taking me home,
So you need not grieve for me.

For many years God carried me
And kept me at my best.
He strengthened me and kept me strong.
For this we're truly blessed.

Hold strong to our family heritage.
Keep living your life through God.
Keep carrying on the traditions,
The big ones and the small.

Remember all the good times,
The happiness and the love.
Think of me when you reminisce
As I'll be smiling from above.

My mind's at ease, my soul has peace.
My body's now at rest,
For an angel came for me today
And said God needs the best.

The serenity of going home is a miracle
We all shall seek,
So please don't think of me and cry
With a tear upon your cheek.

I've lived and traveled long and hard
To reach my journey's final end,
So let's just say, "Goodbye for now,
Until we're together again."

When the day becomes an evening
And I've seen the passing sun
I know I've heard the last little chirp
Of songs the birds have sung

I am now seeing the darkness
As it suddenly appears
Now the passing of the sunlight
Quickly disappears

The blue skies are slowly fading
As the glowing hues stand bright
Forming deep bright colors
Against the ebony night

The moon has cast a shadow through
The broken puffy clouds
The stars have started twinkling
With their brightness shining down

As each moment comes the changing
Of the earth's most beautiful maze
That make up God's earthly beauty
With the closing of the day
