Farewell

(Dedication: In loving memory of a 
family friend who died this Friday.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Feel how I feel in sadness now;
All will be well though I am gone;
Rest dear and heal what pains endow;
Exult and dwell on lovely dawns;
Walk with a smile and live with zest;
Enjoy the thrills that come to you;
Love helps you style your cheery best;
Live with fond will as laughter cues.
Flaunt your sweet ways and be at peace;
Our time well-spent is a grand gift;
Recall our days that brought increase;
Note love's expanse that ever lifts;
Opt for happy, sweet memories;
We've come to be: fond souls lovely.
