A Thank You Note

"Be of good cheer for life and death
Are twins that steer brief human breath."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Thank you dear friends, for words of hope;
For thoughtful trends, for help to cope.

Our loss feels brief with this journey;
Our time of grief feels less gloomy.

Thank you so much for support calls;
For mindful touch, kind help and all.

As death marks plain, we turn and toss;
With heartfelt pain, we mourn our loss.

Thank you for words, for presence too;
For healing hurts, for all you do.

May joy in time ease sorrow's sting;
May lovely chimes spring cheer that sings!
