In Memoriam

On the tragic loss of a family member

 

These were wintry, gray, 

Melancholic summer days 

Death glided along easy, 

Dancing on happy feet 

We sat speechless, grasping 

At the straws of faith, hoping 

That this bitter, unpalatable 

Diet of sorrow and suffering 

Will leave a sweet, soothing 

Aftertaste of understanding 

On our trembling lips, and 

In our broken, empty hearts 

If only death were but a word 

Without blood or body bags 

If only death could be the end 

Of all thought, of all pain - of all 

But, oh, he’s too kind and generous! 

In place of a life he leaves a world 

Of sorrow to have and to hold, and to 

Call out our name in the night 

And hearts keep beating, and 

Lungs keep breathing, and 

A million suns will rise, but nothing will 

Ease our pain, or soften our cries

There are no words to be spoken 

What was whole is now broken, 

Time has stopped, life has gone 

We move, we walk, but can’t go on 

We can’t go on…
