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 loved you so--'twas heaven

here with you!
