POEM
Shes Not Dead, Shes Just Away
I cannot say, and I will not say that she is dead, shes just away. With a Cherry Smile and a wave of the hand, she has wandered into a better land, and left us dreaming how very fair, it needs must be since she lingers there, and you, oh you, who the wildest yearn, for in old time step in the glad return. Think of her faring on us dear. In the love of God there as the lost of here, think of her still as the same, I say, Shes not dead, Shes just away!
