I was sure it was anon, too. Great poem. Always a comfort.

Just perfect for a Hallmark greeting card!

Babsatamelia,

I am a newbie, and have read for HOURS, but just now reading this one. Thank you for the author's name, I wanted to know. (Don't be surprised as this topic sparks anew, often.)

This is a rhyme familiar to me, and like most, I find it to be beautiful and lyrical in expression. Also, like much poetry, it leaves many things unsaid, and explains nothing. It exists for inspiration.

Yet, perhaps- there are grieving loved ones, who will feel comforted hearing it- if they can find belief in themselves that their dearly departed is truly transformed, not forever gone.

I enjoy this forum- appreciate your contributions for my indulgence!
