This is a poem that could be read at someone's funeral but I hope it brings a sense of comfort and reassurance that losing someone is just an interlude and that we will dance with them again. 

Dedicated, in loving memory, to Katie and Richard. Rest in peace my friends. Come gather here, Be at your ease, To say this last goodbye. Not to this shell before you, But to a life passed by. I lie wrapped in a tapestry, Stitched with every memory, That we have shared together, Through calm and stormy weather, By each other’s side. I do not ask you for your tears , For I am free, my suffering past. Remember all the times we laughed, And when you find that happy place, Let a smile light up your face. We forged our bond with love, not tears, Linking arms, we walked as one, Now is my turn to rest a while, I have reached the final stile, But you must carry on. Goodbye, to you, with whom I’ve shared, This wondrous gift of life. Enjoy the dance, life’s sweet refrain, For love is timeless as the stars, And i will dance with you again.
