Several months before my Mom's passing I found this poem in CA while on a school bus trip to a mission, It was incased into a very nice wooden frame and I bought it. Simply an incredible and uplifting poem that brings healing.
It touches heart.nothing remains to be said anymore!!!!. This poem was featured in an episode of the NETFLIX series AFTER LIFE.
since my husband passed, i have realized that this is so true, we never leave this earth I have been in love with this poem since my teenage years. While reading this, my mind instantly went to my grandmother. It's the finale of the excellent show and brings closure to Tony's grief over his wife's death. It was a poignant reminder of death, my Grandmother, wrote it on the back of his picture with Anonymous as the author as told by her Minister.Īs CYNTSLESS points out,this is read by a main character in After Life on Netflix. Their minister had been reciting this, at every funeral he presided over, since graduating Seminary (1912). It is an excellent poem, but I doubt seriously Mary Frye is/was the author since it was read at my great-great Grandfather's funeral in 1934 (the year my mother was born). Knowing that my mother is going to pass soon we will recite this when she does pass. My mother is on hospice and I was cleaning out her non useful purse and found this poem and it brought tears to my eyes.
Sadly, we may never know who gets the credit for these comforting words. It's also been alleged as a Navajo burial prayer. Wiggins, an Englishman who migrated to America and Marianne Reinhardt (no information found). The poem has also been attributed to Mary Elizabeth Clark Frye, a Baltimore housewife Stephen Cummins, a British soldier J.T.
There are several variations in print, but the version that appears here was published in The Gypsy magazine in 1934 with the byline of Clare Harner of Topeka, Kansas. This beautiful poem is probably one of the world's best known and best loved, but the identity of the author remains unconfirmed.
