A word to my loved ones

Who still walk this earth:

Do not cry for me

For this body is only a shell

Rather, laugh with me in the breeze

Smile with me in the sunshine

Drift with me on the tide

Dream with me in the night

Dance with me in the rain

Roar with me in the thunder

Crash with me in the surf

Run with me down the river

Live with me in the summer haze

Fall with me through the autumn leaves

Rest with me under the winter frost

Bloom with me in the spring melt

Embrace life and all its wonders

And at last together we shall be
