What Is Dying





Thank you to all who gave there heartfelt sentiments through your expressions of love and cards. Out of the hundreds we received, this particular card stood out.
- Matt Guzik




A ship sails and I stand **
watching till she fades on
the horizon and someone at my
side says, "she is gone."
Gone where?
Gone from my sight, that is all;
she is just as large as when I
saw her.
The diminished size,
and total loss of sight is in me,
not in her, and just at the moment
when someone at my side says
"She is gone," there are others who are
watching her coming, and
other voices take up a glad shout,
"There she comes!" and that is,
dying
