Before I die...It's To Whom 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!
