I think of my Mom when I read this poem and I wanted to share it with you too. <br /><br />Death is Nothing At All<br />I have only slipped away to the next room.<br />I am I and you are you.<br />Whatever we were to each other,<br />That, we still are.<br /><br />Call me by my old familiar name.<br />Speak to me in the easy way<br />which you always used.<br />Put no difference into your tone.<br />Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.<br /><br />Laugh as we always laughed<br />at the little jokes we enjoyed together.<br />Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.<br />Let my name be ever the household word<br />that it always was.<br />Let it be spoken without effect.<br />Without the trace of a shadow on it.<br /><br />Life means all that it ever meant.<br />It is the same that it ever was.<br />There is absolute unbroken continuity.<br />Why should I be out of mind<br />because I am out of sight?<br /><br />I am but waiting for you.<br />For an interval.<br />Somewhere. Very near.<br />Just around the corner.<br /><br />All is well.<br /><br />Death Poem by Henry Scott Holland ~ 1847-1918<br />Canon of St. Paul's Cathedral ~ London. UKSusannoreply@blogger.com
