We Let You Go

Into the darkness and warmth of the earth
We lay you down.
Into the sadness and smiles of our memories
We lay you down.
Into the cycle of living and dying and rising again
We lay you down.
May you rest in peace, in fulfillment, in loving.
May you run straight home in God’s embrace.
Into the freedom of wind and sunshine
We let you go.
Into the dance of the stars and the planets
We let you go.
Into the wind’s breath and the hands of the star maker
We let you go.
We love you, we miss you, we want you to be happy.
Go safely, go dancing, go running home.
