Having lost so many significant people in my life, I found it very hard to move through the grieving process and became stuck in the darkness of pain and the depression of grief. My husband bought me an Angel book where I found this poem.

My hope is that it brings comfort to you as it did me.

It's My Time

Where do we go when it’s time to leave? It’s my time.

Through the tunnel of light, where it’s clear and bright. It’s my time.
My friends are all waiting on the other side,
I’m a little bit scared, but my angel’s at my side.
It’s my time.

I know you’ll cry, But it’s my time.
I know you’ll be wondering ‘Why, Why, Why?’ But it’s my time.
I can’t stay on Earth where my work is done.
Heaven is great, I’m happy and it’s fun.
It’s my time.

I’ll always love you and you’ll always love me, But it’s my time.
Never forget me, but I want you to move on, ‘Coz it’s my time.
All good things must come to an end,
You’re in my heart, and you’ll always be my friend,
But it’s my time.

Although we must part it’s only for a while. It’s not your time.
Make me proud as you carry on. It’s not your time.

I’ll wait for you till you’re old and grey.
I’m sorry that you have to stay. It’s not your time.

Life is precious and although it’s not the same, It’s not your time.
Life will go on, I think you’ll find, It’s not your time.
I want you to promise that while I am away
You’ll love one another, I hope and pray........ you’ll
Understand my darling,
It’s my time, it’s my time........ It’s my time.
