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 was 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!
