The world may never notice, if a snowdrop doesn’t bloom,
Or even pause to wonder if the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms, or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way for all eternity.
Now, at last, you journey home,
where heaven opens soft and wide;
'Reunited' again in that eternal, gentle place.
