Forget about it
Don’t think about it
It’s not important
Put it out of your mind
Things I have been told
Advice for the lovelorn
The bereaved
The broken hearted
The lonely
Your love has gone away forever
They have left you behind
They have stopped you in your tracks
Well meaning friends
Want you to forget them
Get on with your life
But the hole in your heart
Is too big to fill
With sympathies
Thank you for the card
Your letters are stunning
The door open just a crack
But we know you don’t look back
A question or a ruse
Ready to leave another bruise
I duck and weave against the air
But again you are not there
So I walk over the words
Try to find something unheard
Until I find our familiar pattern
How did I let that happen
On faltering the ill
tempered surrender
the speechless ignorance
of their fathers
Challenge never knew
of their presence
Accountants of pressure
frequent one another
Rarely daring to take part
in the discussion.
May angels dry tears with gentle wings,
guide your thoughts toward supernal things.
Laborious to catch your breath,
today your sorrow is keen in death.
Celebrate memories you have shared,
immortal Glory, godly declared.
there are times no word need be spoken - for sadness speaks in its silence.

For my friend, the year ends on a black note
Cause he's lost a father he looked up to
And now he goes into the new year in a new note
A strange tone cause he's not used to
It will take time before we all come to terms
At just how much this death means to us
I could paint a picture but I'd still lack the terms
To truly express the sorrow I feel is with us
It's sad that you gone at a time when we looked forward to a new year
We were just taking count of how the year has been
But now we here shedding a hard tear
Of what has transpired, what has been
And it's great friends and family are here to console him
I'm sure he appreciates it's just the circumstances are hard
We have to keep being there for the family and him
And it's great how we all here as soon as we heard
Sorry my friend, sad to see your dad is no more
And I know words don't console but atleast know,
that you in our thoughts and many more
It's a hard time now but that's the way of life you know
The PO£T
Deepest condolences for your recent loss
I understand how your sadness feels,
For I, too, have borne that bitter cross
And long for the time when memory heals
When peace returns what eternity steals.

With The Deepest Condolences (two)
Dearest Heart
my deepest condolences to you and your family
with heartfelt sincerity to you
it is my deepest regret
that i can not give you
release from your inconsolable loss
with deepest regrets your friend
One day,
Sir told me that,
To farm,let it harvest,
To be happy, let it cry first,
To succeed, let it in pain of fist,
To never give up, just fall to the deepest,
But Sir,
Even the wind will stop blowing,
Even the sun will crawl back inside,
Even the rain will never stop pouring,
Even the cricket will stop bickering,
Then Sir,
I never realize that all the red roses will turn black,
I never thought that the time will be gone,
I never mind that a book could be torn,
Oh Sir,
For all those arguments,
For all those nonsense act,
For never be kind when your breathing can still be heard,
For all those time that your jokes was your good intention,
Dear Sir,
Those tears cannot bring you back alive,
This words cannot reach your reading lively,
But I hope that prayers will held you there gracefully,
In the name of our God,
Let my Sir rest in peace,
Because this is my deepest condolences,
For the last respect that I could never come.
To My Good Friend on his recent loss
We know that death awaits us all
But , it never makes it easy
From when we're born, we're in its thrall
To which there's no appeasing
Some lives last just for moments
For others, many years
But while they're in our grasp we give
Our love, our laughs, our tears
Some say they're in a better place
They think that'll ease our pain
And so we lean on God's good grace
In hopes our hurt will wane
But we, never will forget
The times we spent together
We may feel alone, but yet
They're in our hearts forever
By Jerry T Curtis
Condolences
(For The Fateful Fall of MH370)
Then I heard it loudly told
In words blank and bold
Some eerie gloomy quotes
That crushed with leaden notes;
They squeezed me with fear
Oozing out many a tear.....
And, with strokes of this mail
Beside you I also travail.
Where man’s wrath begins
The dreadful Devil wins-
How bad the mind frails
Is when conscience fails!
Pierced by this cruel dart
We ‘All’ bleed from the heart-
For, the old and those small
Deserved a Life after all!!
Yet, if you look up, not down
Seeds of comfort can be sown:
‘It’ plunged to our grief
Ascend with Renewed Life!
****As news broke the silence on the fate of the innocent 259 passengers aboard the plane of death; the Boeing 777, missing from 08 March until its remnants were spotted and confirmed today, 24 March 2014.

My Heartfelt Condolences is not my favorite phrase.
I do seem to be using it a lot more though these days.
My Heartfelt Condolences for your most recent loss.
My Heartfelt Condolences for all the tragedy you've come across.
My Heartfelt Condolences is most definetly not my favorite phrase.
My Heartfelt Condolences leave me weary some days.
My Heartfelt Condolences. Not my favorite phrase, that is so very true.
Hopefully I pray that I will never ever have to say
My Heartfelt Condolences to someone like you.
