TOGETHERNESS

Death is nothing at all. I have only 

slipped away into the next room, 

whatever we were to each other, that we 

are still. Call me by my old familiar 

name, speak to me in the easy way 

which you always used. Laugh as we 

always laughed at the little jokes we 

enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. 

Let my name be the household word 

that it always was. Let it be spoken 

without effort. Life means all that it ever 

meant. It is the same as it ever was; 

there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind 

because I am out of your sight? 
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, 

somewhere very near just around the 

corner. All is well. Nothing is past; 

nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it 

was before - only better, infinitely 

happier and forever we will all be one 

together with Christ.
