Cherished Soul
By Linda Schwartz

I stand by your grave, I can't believe your no longer here sharing this life with me.

That you have gon one to whatever is on the other side.

I can feel the tears that want to come. A part of me wants to weep and another part wants to be strong. To try to go on without you. To

take all that you taught me and live the kind of life that would make you proud. To honor the peson I knew and loved so dearly.

I know a part of you lives on in my heart. and when I am feeling alone I will remember the sound of your voice, and the touch of your hand and the love I feel in my heart.
