In eighth grade my best friend passed away. He isn't gone, of course. I have him here With me, within my heart, as I do always. How beautiful that people are so dear To one another! For all my life I'll love him. Only one small part of us dies. The rest Lives on in others. We are music within Music. Nor do we ever hear the best Of us, which sings in other hearts, a chorus Of angels! However much I miss him, he sings Here now, my friend, in me, to you, for us, Still breathing in the beauty that he brings. Love lives forever passed along, and we All are blessed to live, to love, to be.
