Don’t Think
of Him as Gone Away
Don’t think
of him as gone away –
his journey’s
just begun;
life holds
so many facets –
this earth
is only one.
Just think
of him as resting
from the sorrows
and the tears
in a place
of warmth and comfort
where there
are no days and years.
Think how
he must be wishing
that we could
know, today,
how nothing
but our sadness
can really
pass away.
And think
of him as living
in the hearts
of those he touched…
for nothing
loved is ever lost –
and he was
loved so much.
