Do not judge a song by its duration
nor by the number of its notes.
Judge it by the richness of its contents
sometimes those unfinished are among the most poignant.
Do not judge a life by its duration
nor by the number of its days.
Judge it by the way it touched and lifted your soul
sometimes unfinished songs are among the most beautiful.
And when someone has enriched your life,
when their melody lingers on in your heart,
their life is an endless symphony
