Ever remembered
Places where the sun still shines
Without my shadow
Oh how I do miss them

These wonderful dear people
Without whom so many special moments
Would never have occurred
Lasting visions frozen in time's echo

Countless tears shed in sorrow
In laughter
And in compassion
Those streams that I have swum

Father's hug so gentle
Yet solid as rock
Mother's caress supremely comforting
Beyond most vivid imagination

So many friends I have made
And some that I have lost
For now
Still soon we will be together

Billions of potential friends
Yet so few ticks of the clock
Siblings so very close
Now so far away

Past loves endlessly lingering
In almost forgotten kiss
Too many things left unsaid
So much I would like to say

Believing that the end
Is my real beginning
And days I have never known
I'll never truly miss

I have heard that we never miss what we have never known but I do not believe that. I have never known love yet I miss it. I have never known the kind of family who love you as you have yet, I miss it and would love to have such beautiful memories as you do, my friend. You are truly blessed. This is a wonderful poem, Sir Robert.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

May love and light always shine upon you!

It almost saddens me.. all those wonderful wonderful people I'll never be able to know and comfort.. I guess I must make the best with the ones I do know.. people are such wonderful creatures, aren't they?

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.
