Fill Not Your Heart Poem by Joey Beighley

Fill Not Your Heart

Rating: 5.0


Fill not your heart with pain and sorrow,
but remember me in every tomorrow.
Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles,
I've only gone to rest a little while.

Although my leaving causes pain and grief,
my going has eased my hurt and given me relief.

So dry your eyes and remember me
not as I am now, but as I use to be.

Because I will remember you all and look on with a smile,
Understand, in your hearts, I've only gone to rest a little while.
As long as I have the love of each of you,
I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

I go to school with someone who claims she wrote this poem- I did not believe her. She put the poem on some bookmarks and then blacked out her name claiming someone else plagerized her- how can I contact the poet? ?

Your poem was printed on my brother's funeral card in 2018. I carry it with me at all times. Although I cry whenever I read it, it brings me great comfort.

I love this poem, I used for my mother's mass card and now other people have requested if they could use this poem as well. It definitely says it all.
