Wasn't sure what section to post this on. So, I put in this other section. I saw that a friend had posted this on f.b. and liked it so I wanted to share it.

A Irish Funeral Prayer

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together
is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that
we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that is always was.
Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it always was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because
I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,
somewheree very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting,
when we meet again.
 
I like this...thanks for sharing!
