Sorrow for losing you
Relief, for I know you are no longer in pain
Happiness, because you are in a better place
A place where there is never any rain
I will miss you
But I am not the only one
We will see you again
When our work here is done
Your work in this time and place is done
You have moved on to a new task
One in which I hope to someday join you
When it is time to shed this life’s mask
So now it is time
For you to be on your way
I will see you again
On some other sunny day
Dedicated to the memory of Lillian “Lil” Drake
