To Those I Love, 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 your 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 you! By: Isla Paschal Richardson.
