#53 We All Know
We all know you're gone
and gone is forever.
I sometimes think I hear and see you,
then I think its not true
and it breaks my heart in two -
two pieces that slowly mend together,
month after month.
Memories are painful and also wonderful.
Why God wanted you now is something no one knows,
why you took his hand and left us all behind.
What we will always know and always show
is that you are a wonderful friend!
"And nothing can we call our own but death
And that small model of the barren earth
Which serves as paste and cover to our bones.
For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings." W. Shakespeare
"And what the dead had no speech for, when living,
They can tell you, being dead: the communication
Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living." T.S.
Eliot
"While man is growing, life is in decrease;
And cradles rock us nearer to the tomb.
Our birth is nothing but our death begun." Edward Young

"Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom:
therefore they do not believe in dying completely." Albert Camus
