We received this poem when my Dad passed away.

To those I love

If I should ever leave you
whom I love
To go along the Silent Way, grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk
Of me as if I were
beside you there,
I'd come - I'd come,
could I but find a way!
But would not tears and grief
be barriers?
And when you hear a song
or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let
the thought of me be sad...
For I am loving you,
just as I always have...
you were so good to me!
There are so many things
I wanted still to do...
So many things to say to you...
Remember that I did not fear...
It was just leaving you that was so hard to face...
We cannot see Beyond...
But this I know;
I loved you so...
'Twas heaven here with you!

By,
