Try not to wonder.

An epitaph.

Try not to wonder.

Try not to wonder where I’ve gone, nor wish to take my place.
I am not gone, I am the gentle breeze upon your face.
Waste not your days in sadness, take not the time to grieve.
For I am the morning sun, the rain, I am the air you breathe.
I am the flower in glorious bloom that smiles as you pass by.
I am the brightest twinkling star that looks down from the sky.
That I should ever really leave, of this you should not fear.
For I shall live within your memory through all the passing years .
