BAD NEWS

Bad news is really hard to take

Especially if, a life’s at stake

To watch the torture and the pain

To see a loved one’s spirit wane

 

A cloud of sadness falls in place

And forms the features of their face

A future grim, all expectations lost

Letting life go, will be the cost

 

Life regresses, till its essence leaves

Friends and distraught family grieves

But a life’s loss, is the soul’s gain

It is we the living, that feel the pain
