Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I, and you are you...
whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used to
Put no difference in your tone and
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together,
pray ... smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort and without the trace of a shadow in it.
Life means all that it ever meant,
it is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity...
why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you somewhere very near just around the corner
All is well...
