If you’ve ever lost someone you loved, you know how difficult it can be to say goodbye. But as the famous Luther Beecher poem says, “gone from my sight” doesn’t mean “gone from my heart.” This beautiful printable art captures the sentiment perfectly, serving as a gentle reminder that our loved ones are never truly gone.
Remembering Loved Ones
When someone we love passes away, we often feel lost and alone. We miss the sound of their voice, the touch of their hand, and the comfort of their presence. But even though we can no longer see them, they have not truly left us. They live on in our memories, in the lessons they taught us, and in the love they shared with us.
This printable art features the words of Luther Beecher’s poem, “Gone from My Sight.” It reminds us that even though we may not be able to see our loved ones anymore, they are still with us in spirit. They have simply embarked on a new journey, one that we will all embark on someday. And while it is hard to let them go, we can take comfort in knowing that they are now at peace.
A Comforting Reminder
This printable art is a beautiful way to remember a loved one who has passed away. You can print it out and frame it, hang it on your wall, or even give it as a gift to someone who is grieving. Its simple yet powerful message serves as a comforting reminder that our loved ones will always be with us in our hearts, no matter where life takes us.
So if you are struggling with the loss of a loved one, take comfort in these words from Luther Beecher’s poem:
“I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side, spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then, someone at my side says, ‘There, she is gone.’ Gone where? Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast, hull and spar as she was when she left my side. And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me - not in her. And, just at the moment when someone says, ‘There, she is gone,’ there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout - ‘Here she comes!’”
Remember that while our loved ones may be gone from our sight, they are still with us, and they will always be a part of our lives. This printable art is a beautiful way to honor their memory and keep them close to our hearts.
