And one final word...
Not sure if this is the proper forum...if not, someone in authority please move it...anyway,
This morning I was thinking about a dear friend whose funeral I attended a couple of years ago. The cemetery was small, but old, and as I was leaving, I stopped to read a beautiful poem on one of the other headstones. It described the young (at the time of death) man's work, from the poem some sort of mathematical career, and how the time had come to put his slide rule away. It was very touching.
Anyway, as I was thinking about my friend, I was thinking “What would be on my headstone? What would my final words to the world be? And as the train slowly crawled into the city this cold, gray morning, I imagined a somber, dark, rain-soaked stone jutting from the ground and the words I imagined written there made me smile:
If the sun's now shining and it’s a beautiful day
Go on and play,
And think of me.
If the rain is now falling and the wild winds blow
Find yourself a warm place to go
And think of me
But if it's now the dark of night
TURN OFF THAT LIGHT!
I’m trying to sleep
