Don't think of him as gone away--  
his journey's 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.
