Gone, But Not Forgotten
By Ellen Brenneman
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.
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.
