Do not be too dismayed, too long,
my good friend. We are surrounded
by a cloud of witnesses,
those who have departed this coarse plane
of existence, but watch over us
from the  bright, eternal hereafter, and share
all of our joy and pain. We feel lonely
in loss, but we are not alone.

I tell you what you already know,
but I wanted you to hear it from me.

Oh, Art, this spill from your heart, is both loving ~ and wise.

Your friend will surely find comfort in your words ~ even if it is only to reinforce what your friend already knows.

Love & Everlasting Life,
Linda

Dear Art, what a loving, compassionate and wise poem for your dear friend!

It should be distributed to those who mourn a loved one and can't recover and it should also be exhibited in cemeteries ... for comfort.

Love and gratitude.
