Take Care Of Yourself I love you and want you to take care of yourself For I’m watching over you every day And it breaks my heart to see you struggling Now that I have gone away I wish that I could reach out and touch you Erase the boundaries between earth and heaven Fill you with peace and sweet assurance Until the heartache you’re feeling is lessened Give you the hope to keep on going For it breaks my heart to see you cry Aware of the grief that you still carry Even as time goes by… Yet I’m wishing only peace and healing for you So I’m asking you to be stronger this grief I want you to always take care of yourself And if you can’t do it on your own…please do it for me Find the truest way to honor my life With a sense of purpose in your heart Let happy memories mean more than sad ones Through courage, give hope a fresh start And if you’re not sure that you can do this Or if you don’t even want to try Remember that I’m the one who’s asking For you to be brave and to go on living life - So arise each morning and welcome the day Reflect on the happy moments that we knew Remind yourself that there’ll be more happy times When God reunites me with you Make sure that you are eating well Feed your body with healthy foods That will nourish your soul and comfort your mind And cook some of my favorites too Be sure to be patient and kind with yourself And with others, please also do the same Don’t worry that you won’t make it through this grief Or that life will never be the same And if some days are harder than others When you’re not sure that you’ll ever find relief Find the courage to keep on trying Remind yourself that you’re doing this for me Please make the time to be active Give your body a physical release A source of strength to endure the journey That leads away from this heartache towards peace Share your thoughts with trusted friends And never choose to hide The emotions that need expressing Which are filling your heart and your mind Sleep enough and laugh enough Choose to help another in need Wear more smiles than you do frowns If you truly want to honor me Know that I love you with all my heart Know that this isn’t the end For someday we’ll be together again On that you can depend Until then may I look down with gladness May my spirit have a calming sense of peace Knowing that you’re taking care of yourself In expression of the love you feel for me Poem Copyright ã 2012-2014 Poems And Reflections LLC.
