    Don't Cry for Me


    You wonder, “Why did this happen?”,

    and you cry out ,“What is to be?”

    In contrast, I hold my head up

    in awe, still blissfully happy.

     

    I've had my moments in the sun.

    I have known days in the cool shade.

    I have felt life's sweet winds caress

    and hold my soul and my face.

     

    I've known laugher, love, and sorrow,

    and I have had a deeper life

    than many who surround me will

    ever know, feel or realize.

     

    So, I say, no, don't cry for me.

    Instead, just dare to celebrate

    that you and I were here to touch,

    to love, so entertwined by fate.

     

    And when I leave, look to the sky

    and watch my sun shine so bright

    on each day of your life until

    we shall again meet in His light.

    sorry to hear that.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
