Letting Go
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Other Poems by Gary James Smith


Letting Go

Letting go is the hardest task
Of the which we have in life
Whether that be a son or daughter
Sister, husband or wife
We're not hard wired to be nonchalant
For love has endearment power
And God is love praise the Lord
And He's with us in those hours

We know He's there at earth's departure
To welcome to His care
Each one who has believed on Him
So brother don't despair
Our kindly Shepherd leading them
To the pastures that are green
And death is dismissed in its effectiveness
We'll be with the King of kings

So grace abounds in wondrous measure
To handle grief as such
We can live with peacefulness
Because God loveth much
And one day will wipe away forever
Every fallen tear
So take hope friend in that Friend named Jesus
For He is always near

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
