Death of a Loved One

The pain of loss, so hard to bear, As death of a loved one takes to the air. Though their body dies, their soul lives on, Leaving many questions, with hope we're drawn. For whom then do we grieve, we may ask, The ones that passed, the ones that task, Or is it for ourselves, left behind, To deal with the memories, to always remind. If we could see beyond this mortal plane, Where our loved ones reside, far from the strain, Where their soul is free and full of light, Would our grief ease, to lose hold of the night? Ignorance shorn, if we could perceive, The beauty of death, farewell we'd receive, With a heart full of love, and memories so clear, A new script we would weave, free of fear. As we mourn, let us turn to the light, And hold memories close, in the depths of our sight, For death of a loved one will never be easy to bear, But their soul lives on, forever in our care.
