I Purge To Leave: For Milton

Fill not the heart with this pain of sorrow, And remember this in your wakening tomorrow Remember the joys, the laughter, and the smile I've gone to rest for just a little while. Although leaving caused pain and grieving, But my going has ceased my pains And it's given me such relief I'm in a place where I'll be at peace. So, dry those eyes and remember me, Not as I am now but as I used to be Because I'll remember you all the while I'll check on you from time to time with a smile. Understand this in your hearts, I've only gone to rest for just a while I've got the love of each of you So, I can live departed in your hearts too. For: L. Milton Hankins R.I.P., my fellow Muse.
