Oops, sorry I forgot to sign in before I posted above. And I meant to post these suggestions ... A Time for Grieving.

Looking over that poem again, I'm not happy with the line ... "When you part from your friend, you grieve not." Seems to me only a heart of stone wouldn't grieve a friend's passing! Maybe Gibran was only trying to offer an alternative perspective for dealing with a friend's absence.
