The following poem, by an unknown author, says what we have no words for.

I’m home,

Dancing among the stars,

I feel your heavy heart from afar,

I see a thousand tears you cry,

Cry if you must but remember to smile,

I wish not to be a memory of glory,

For my short life is my precious story,

To most, it may not seem a lot,

To me, it’s everything I’ve got,

My life before we had to part,

How I danced to the beat of your heart,

There’s so much I didn’t get to see,

I pray you’ll be my eyes for me,

As each new day begins to start,

Approach it with an open heart,

As though your very eyes are mine,

See each thing as though it’s the first time,

See awe and wonder in all that be,

And when you do, think of me,

Then I will see the wonders too,

By living through the eyes of you.
