Say not in grief that we are no more

Say not in grief that she is no more
but say in thankfulness that she was
A death is not the extinguishing of a light,
but the putting out of the lamp
because the dawn has come.

Tagore

 

Behind Me — dips Eternity –
Before Me — Immortality –
Myself — the Term between –
