Death is Nothing At All

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I, and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to mi in the easy way in which you used to
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always luaghed at the little jokes we enjoyed together,
Pray, Smile, Think of me, Pray for me
Lety my name be ever the household word that it always was.

There is unbroken continuity,
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight.

I am waiting for you, for an interval,
Somewhere very near, just around the corner, ALL IS WELL.

This was in memory of our friend Shivan Sookoo...you will be in our hearts forever because we are OT3 forever...and indeed we will meet again and there we will have our OT3 great reunion...I hope when I die you would be one of the people who comes to greet me...
