To All Hearts that Break

I wrote this poem when I first heard about Bobbi Kristina and now she has died. May she forever rest in peace. I do not understand or know the full circumstances of what happened to her. I imagine there will be a court case to decide that. The poem was inspired by my thinking of Bobbi and her mother, and how their lives were joined together in the beginning and in the end. I think that was a way for me to ease the pain I was feeling for her and her family for her tragic loss.

To All Hearts that Break 
Bobbi Kristina, Whitney and Bobby Brown

Into your arms I am arriving
To the place where I belong
Distance between us has parted
I have journeyed my way to you

Some may cry when they hear I am gone
Some may shake their heads and wonder why
They do not understand the joy I am feeling
Here in your loving arms being held so well

The pain I was feeling because I was grieving
It's a pain I will feel no more
The going on without is yesterday gone

I was not aiming to die but here I am
Crossed over to the promised land
Always hearing voices singing glory
And praising amen again and again

Please don't you cry when I'm gone
Know I am where I belong
I can't undo what I have done
Please try to forgive, forgive 
And let's move on and on

Here in your arms I am sleeping
The sweetest dream I ever dreamt
The dream I have is a wondrous one
We are together as one 
Never shall we be parted again

Into your arms I have arrived
To the place where I belong
Distance between us has parted 
I have journeyed 
Yes, I have journeyed
I have journeyed my way to you

Rest in peace all who love
Cry all the tears that you must 
But remember you are blessed
And so am I...

I have journeyed my way to you
