There is a certain comfort that can be found in the belief that God only takes the best. This idea has been explored in many poems throughout history. Here are five poems that touch on this theme.
1. A Soul Ascended
To be with God above
Leaving behind a legacy
Of kindness, faith, and love
In the wake of their departure
We are left with memories to hold
Of the laughter and the joy they brought
And the stories that they told
Their light shone bright while on this earth
Guiding us through life’s trials
And though they may be gone from sight
Their spirit forever smiles
Their journey may be done for now
But their legacy lives on
In the hearts and minds of those they touched
Their memory will never be gone
2. The Departed
The departed are never truly gone
For they live on in our hearts
And though we may feel lost and alone
We know they’re in a better part
Their laughter still echoes in our minds
Their smile still lights up our soul
And though they may be out of sight
Their memory makes us whole
Their absence may leave a void
But their love remains forever strong
For in the hearts of those they touched
Their memory will forever belong
Though their presence may be missed
Their love will never fade
For in the hearts of those they touched
Their memory forever stays
3. A Life Well-Lived
Though their time with us was brief
Their impact will forever last
For they lived a life of love and belief
And now their spirit is free at last
Their journey on this earth may be done
But their spirit lives on in our hearts
For the love they gave and the kindness shown
Forever sets them apart
Their legacy of faith and hope
Will forever guide us through
For in the way they lived their life
Their spirit forever shines through
4. The Eternal Home
God has called another home
To rest in eternal peace
Though we may feel sad and alone
We know their soul will forever be at ease
Their spirit may have left this earth
But their memory will always remain
For in the hearts of those they touched
Their love forever reigns
Though their presence may be missed
Their memory will never fade
For in the hearts of those they touched
Their spirit forever stays
5. The Promise of Reunion
Though we may be apart for now
We know we’ll meet again someday
In a place where there’s no pain or sorrow
And all tears are wiped away
Their memory may bring tears to our eyes
But their love will forever remain
For in the promise of reunion
Their memory forever sustains
Their legacy of love and hope
Will forever guide our way
For in the promise of reunion
Their spirit forever stays.
