by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of him
as gone away-
his journey has just begun
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one…


Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.


Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away


And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.


-E. Brenneman
