To Those I Love

This poem was read by Ryan Gelfand at the service for Rhoda.
 
To Those I Love
By Isla Paschal Richardson
 
If I should ever leave you
    whom I love
To go along the Silent Way,
    grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears,
    but laugh and talk
Of me as if I were
    beside you there.
(I'd come-I'd come,
    could I but find a way!
But would not tears and grief
   be barriers?)
And when you hear a song
   or see a bird
I loved, please do not let 
    the thought of me
Be sad...For I am 
    loving you just as
I always have...
    You were so good to me!
There are so many things
    I wanted still 
To do-so many things 
    to say to you...
Remember that I 
    did not fear...It was
Just leaving you
    that was so hard to face...
We cannot see Beyond...
   But this I know:
I loved you so-'twas heaven
   here with you!
