Eternally everything.
Death is only sorrow, for the one's left here on earth,
For death can actually be, as beautiful as birth.
For what we fear the most is that which is most unknown,
When what we should take comfort in, is what we're often shown.
That death is not an ending, they never truly go,
They become a part of who you are, and everything you know.
You'll see their smile and hear their laugh with every joke you tell,
You'll feel their comfort and hear their words each time you feel like hell.
You see! They never truly left us, they're everywhere we look,
In the faces of our children, on the pages of our books.
They're the wind that we hear blowing, the rain that hits the ground,
Every amazing sight, every beautiful sound.
They're in the water flowing, in a summers meadow stream,
The deep and meaningful message in that weird cryptic dream.
They never truly leave us, they never truly go,
They're everything we do,
Everything we know!
