Every now and then, I think of
All the loved ones that have past.
And I wonder what they're doing
Since the time I saw them last.

One night as I was dreaming
In the middle of the night,
I thought someone was calling
So I tiptoed to the light.

As I gazed outside my window
And viewed the diamond studded sky,
Emotions overcame me
When the visions rolled on by.

Friends and family all were gathered.
There was a party going on.
They were having such a good time.
It was as if they had never gone.

It brought to me a comfort
Just knowing they were alright.
A gift of closure I received
From this illusion of the night.

Ah, 'tis as Shakespeare said,

"Parting is such sweet sorrow"

...the melancholy mirth of missing those we love

I like this very much, Eloise.
With all of the recent passings
of people we've grown up with,
this is a very poignant, timely, poem.
