Rest easy and be of joy. I know family particularly your mother, brothers and sisters are there. I know you are snapping fingers and laughing. I know you know how much love is here and how you are carried in my heart. For always.

THANATOPSIS (Last Verse)
by: William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)
...So live, that when thy summons comes to join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
Scourged by his dungeon; but, sustain'd and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
Sweet dreams, Dad.
