A Journey Just Begun
Don't think of me as passed away,
My journey has just begun;
Life holds so many facets –
The earth is only one.
Just think of me as resting from
the Sorrows and the tears;
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days or years.
Think of how they must be wishing
That we could know, today;
How nothing but our sadness can
Really pass away.
Think of me as living in the hearts
of those I've touched;
For nothing loved is ever lost,
If I was loved so much.
R.I.P. J.E., you are truly loved & missed!
