The poem is titled "To Those I Love" by Isla P. Richardson. The concluding lines read: "You were so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still, To do-so many things to say to you... Remember that I did not fear.. It was Just leaving you that was so hard to face... We cannot see Beyond... But this I know I loved you so- 'twas heaven here with you!"
