You look as though you're in a restful sleep, <br />Serene, content and in a world of dreams. <br />And I don't know if I should smile or weep <br />For death should be much sadder than it seems. <br />I don't know if you know that you have gone <br />I only know to me that you're still here <br />And life has left yet somehow life lives on. <br />Behind those eyelids are there signs of cheer? <br />And has your spirit gone where spirits go, <br />To where you always knew that it would end <br />But left you with a smile so we will know <br />We've lost a body, haven't lost a friend? <br />And do you see a rainbow from on high <br />While I smile through the tears that I must cry?<br /><br />Terry Donovan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-sorrow/
