InPhoto: Shrine for the Dead

I’m Free*

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free

I’m following the path of God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard him call,

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way,

I found that place at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,

Ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.

Be not be burdened with times of sorrow,

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much,

Good friends, good times, a love one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,

God wanted me now, He set me free.

The cross on the picture serves as the landmark for the hundreds people who perished due to the landslide at Guinsaugon.

This InPhoto blog post is for those who died because of the landslide in Guinsaugon, Southern Leyte. The media, the politicians, and the general public may forget them, but those who love them and those who went to Guinsaugon will never lose in their mind the sadness that the tragedy brought.

May the Lord grant them entry to His heavenly abode.
