I found a beautiful poem written by one of the moderators on the site ennisjack.com, that I just had to share with you:

Grateful Traveler

Remember me, with a smile not sorrow.
My time here on earth was brief,
but oh how much I lived.
I filled each day with purpose
and tried my best to give
a little piece of who I am
to everyone I knew.
And I found in doing so
the love inside me grew.
But a body has its limits and now I need to rest.
My spirit lives forever though and I have been truly blessed.
I left my mark upon the world and in my little girl.
And what more could I ask of life
than to let me be true to myself,
and when it was my time to go
be proud of who I was?
So bid me not to stay, now that my work here is done.
Let me fly free and in remembering me
Share in my journey as I shared in yours.
I am a grateful traveler.
I was only passing through.
But if you keep me in your heart,
I will always live in you.

The author also has this written under her portrait picture (that shows a young Heath):

For a moment in our lives.
Forever in our hearts.

And this in her signature:

For a man who opened his heart to us and shared his soul on screen, we give our love and undying gratitude. Rest in peace, Heath. You are loved and will be missed.

I am almost beyond words. That was so beautiful it takes my breath a way. What a tremendous tribute-and what makes it oh so more lovely is that each word is true and Heath was a remarkable soul.

That was maybe one of the most beautiful poems that I have ever read...it was perfect...the way that she described Heath as a travaler, and only here for a short while...

Thank you so much for finding it and sharing..
