Dealing and Healing

A tragic loss
a wounded soul
words alone cannot console.

The passing on
of ones we love
must find a way to rise above.

With times to come
of great despair
reflect upon what made them dear
as cherished memories
find comfort there.

In your thoughts
draw them near
for in your heart
they're always here.
