By Helen Schucman*

You came but for a while. When Jesus called 

You were content to go. For who would stay 

To watch the dreary cycle of the nights 

Turn coldly gray with each return of day?

   

This world was not your home. Would God allow 

His child to wander long without a home

Which He Himself makes bright? Your tired eyes

Closed gratefully when He at last said, "Come".   

  

You have forgot all this. All thoughts that hurt, 

All sorrow, all regret, have ceased to be 

In your remembrance. He Who called to you 

Has loosened all your chains and set you free. 

 

Because I love you I would have you go. 

Because I love Him I can scarcely weep. 

Because He loves you glory goes with you, 

And in that glory you but seem to sleep. 

 

He came in mercy. Let me give Him thanks

You stayed with us until you saw Him smile

And tell you it is finished. He will come 

For me that way in just a little while. 

 

It is for this I wait, in certainty 

That He Who made the stars will not forget. 

I will be glad so see Him smile at me,

Or if He choose, to wait a little yet.  

 

In loving memory of James Rompel

Last year we communicated with James about being a part of our MUSIC section of the eMagazine and this is what he wrote:
 
"There is a little elvis song on you tube of Jim (me) in a speedway jacket that is blue w/white strips ...The song is called " They Remind Me Too Much Of You" which is about God to meeee... : ) I so want to record it."

Here is the YouTube, James. We share it here with all our Love.

"They Remind Me Too Much Of You."
