Instead .....................(for Cecilia)

Cry not for the loss
Let your tears be
for the happiness he
has brought you

Grieve not for his memory
Instead
place a single yellow leaf
against your cheek
and recall
the love, the life
he has shared with you

Fall not into despair
for he is with you now
and all ways
