Life and Loss
So many loved ones and friends lost it seems
Their faces frequent visitors to our nightly dreams
For those of us left behind we search for ways to carry on
Ever seeking elusive answers from dusk until dawn
Life is a gift that we should cherish every single day
But we find that loss and grief often get in the way
With little choice but to continue to ever forge ahead
We rely on fleeting memories embedded in a tangled web
Sometimes clear, sometimes faint they give us hope
As if peering through a mystic kaleidoscope
We pass this way but once and if lucky kinships are formed
Realizing nothing lasts forever as the scriptures forewarn
