Gone where?Gone from my sight, that is all...

This is a great poem to help us that have gone or are going through the death of a loved one, to cope. I pray that it helps you on your journey and that it gives you peace.

I am standing on the sea shore.A ship sails to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her till at last she fades on the horizon, and someone at my side says, "she is gone."Gone where?Gone from my sight, that is all: she is just as large in the masts, hull and spars as she was when I saw her, and just as able to bear her load of living freight to its destination.The diminished size and total loss of sight is in me, not her: and just at the moment when someone at my side says, "she is gone," there are others who are watching her coming, and other voices take up a glad shout, "there she comes!"

Make it a great day!
