GONE FROM THIS LIFE
ON TO A HIGHER PLACE
RISING ABOVE US
INTO THE ETHER
LIFTED UP HIGH
LEAVING US BELOW
ALOFT AND CLIMBING
FREED FROM OUR WORLD
EVER IN OUR THOUGHTS
LUMINOUS GRACE DEPARTED
CHERISHED IN MEMORY
HE BRIGHTENED OUR DAYS
EMBOLDENED OUR SPIRITS
REMEMBERED ALWAYS

--- ...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.
