"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing,and obtaineth favour of the LORD." Proverbs 18:22 To Those I Love If I should ever leave you whom I love To go along the Silent Way, grieve not. Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk Of me as if I were beside you there. (I'd come, could I but find a way! But would not tears and grief be banners?) And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, Please do not let the thought of me Be sad... For I am loving you just as I always have.... You were so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still To do, so many things to say to you... Remember that I did not fear.... It was just Leaving you that was so hard to face... We cannot see Beyond__But this I know I love you so--`twas heaven here with you.
