Matthew’s Song
Although death has given me yet another name, I am the same as I have always been, ... I am no further away from life than life is from itself.
I have done no more than turn a corner, cross a bridge, and accept myself as one who travels lighter, ... I live where I have always lived, ...in the thoughts of others, in the magnificence of flowers, ... in the center of the wind.
I am well, ... for there is no greater honor than to be carried forward by those I cherished before I was given another name, and I am better knowing that my gifts will journey further by way of gentle hands, ... my light, my love, ...my joy, ... these gifts, I know, ...will touch the children of tomorrow, through all those whom I have loved.
We have always been one, ... we are not more separate now than when we walked together beneath the stars. I am here, beside you, ... I am in every blade of grass, ...I am in the laughter of every child, ... I am in the songs of the sparrow, the music of the rain, and the wings of a butterfly, ... I am the sunlight on the river, ...the soft blue of the sky, and the cool lavender shadows, which bend along the mountainside.
Yes, I am here, where I have always been, ... within the promises I have kept, ...the dreams I have shared, and within the hearts of those who I carry within mine. I am here, because this is my home, ... and this is the place where I can always be found, ... right here, ...where I am loved, ... right here, ...next to you.
