"To Those I Loved"
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 much I know:
I loved you so -- 'twas heaven here with you!
I do want to say that I loved
all my children very much,
I'm very proud of all of you,
You all turned out great ...
So we must have done something right
I love you all
