Attended a funeral today of a friend from long ago. Too young, too soon, too good to die, but sadly, it was his time.
His daughter spoke of his motto of : "live, love, laugh, dream" and we can honor his life by living along the lines of his motto.
I've always found comfort and realization in Sandburg's poem, pasted in below.
LCB
Stars, Songs, Faces
Gather the stars if you wish it so.
Gather the songs and keep them.
Gather the faces of women.
Gather for keeping years and years.
And then . . .
Loosen your hands, let go and say goodby.
Let the stars and songs go.
Let the faces and years go.
Loosen your hands and say goodbye.
Carl Sandburg, 1920
