I have only slipped away into the next room..
I am I , and You are You..
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are,
Call me by my old familiar name,
Put no difference into your tone
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Let my name be ever the household word
it always used to be,
Let it be spoken without effort
without the ghost of a shadow on it
Speak to me in the easy way you always used to,
Laugh at the little jokes we enjoyed together
Play, smile , think of me,
Pray for me.
Life means all that it ever meant
it is the same as ever it was,
there is absolutely unbroken continuity
What is this Death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you for an interval,
somewhere very near
Just around the corner..�?BR> All is well…………………�?/STRONG>
Nothing is past; nothing is lost One brief moment and all will be as it was before How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!
