When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. - Kahlil Gibran

I Am Not Gone

by Injete Chesoni

I am not gone

I remain here beside you

Just in a different form

Look for me in your heart

And there you will find me

in our love which forever lives on

In those moments when you feel alone

Look for me in your thoughts

And there you will find me

in sweet memories that burn strong

Every time a tear

Forms in your beautiful eyes

Look up to the heavens

And there you will see me

Smiling down from God’s glorious skies

To Those I Love

by Isla Paschal Richardson

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!
