We read this earlier this week, its authorship unknown. But a beautiful sentiment.........
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

They say there is a reason
They say that time will heal
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way I feel.
For on one knows the heartache behind our smiles
No one knows the times we have hunkered down and cried
We want to tell you something, so there won't be any doubt
You're so wonderful to think of, but so hard to live without

An extract from a poem by Wenonah Stevens Abbott
Today the journey is ended,
I have worked out the mandates of fate;
Naked, alone, undefended,
I knock at the Uttermost Gate.
Behind is life and its longing,
Its trial, its trouble, its sorrow;
Beyond is the Infinite Morning
Of a day without a tomorrow,
Lo, the gate swings wide at my knocking,
Across endless reaches I see
Lost friends with laughter come flocking to give glad welcome to me
Farewell, the maze has been threaded,
This is the ending of strife;
Say not that death should be dreaded--
"Tis but the beginning of life.
