Prayer for the Dying

By: Lara Dacuik O’Connor

Travel lightly.

Take only the blessings.

There will still be singing.

Everyone leaves things undone.

All of it is forgiven.

Your body knows what to do, the same as when you were born.

You will be loved and remembered.

You are held in the great web.

It’s okay that this wasn’t supposed to happen.

We are all learning.

You did enough if you did one thing good.

It’s okay to miss hugs and peaches. It’s okay to be homesick for Earth.

You will hear your loved ones talk to you.

It’ll be beautiful when you touch them back.

You will be magic in their lives. You’ll live on as hope.

You are now passing the torch.

With love that binds, in peace…let go.
