MUM – This is a lovely poem from many years ago – read carefully the message is so true !
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to eachother
That we are still
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone
Wear no forced air of solemity or sorrow
Laugh, as we did at the little jokes we had together
Pray, still think of me,
Pray, let my name still be the household word it always was
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is unbroken continuity
Why? Sould I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner
All is well xx
