Just Begun

Don't think of him as gone away -
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets -
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as restiing
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost -
and he was loved so much

E. Brenneman

Jenny read this poem at Mason's Memorial and I think it says so much. On Monday, the same date of the month that Mason left this earth, one of my blog 'friends' said, "See ya later" to their baby girl who had hung on for almost a year, beating so many odds and touching so many lives. Mason followed her story with me. He loved babies and was particularly taken with Kayleigh because she was the same size at birth as his older stillborn sister. I can imagine the smile on his face to be able to meet her, give her one of his all encompassing hugs, take her by the hand and show her around.
