May 4

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 love you so –
Twas heaven here with you!
