For mom
I was going to read this at your service but I was too choked up.
A Psalm of Life Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
What The Heart Of The Young Man Said To The Psalmist
TELL me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream ! — For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal ; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.
