What good is a life without a little pain?
Or sunny days without some rain?
I just heard the news you were gone, passed away, slipped into the beyond.
I'm hurt, hurting, lost, sad
Too many funerals for someone my age, too many tombstones in my life, their weight is such a damning painful strife
I'll come visit you soon, I'm so sorry you slipped away, like everyone else who has ever lost someone, just one more day
I'd have gotten that letter in the mail, written, sent, done instead of wasted my only chance to tell you, you were family despite the difference of our blood
We shared so many memories, halloweens as a boy with the homemade candy, the badge from your late husband you passed on to me, the night you were robbed and i learned what a community was, each memory a poem to your life and a sorry to see you go
Rest in peace is such a heavy thing to say, it's not enough really, it's so small, but what is there left? In the end, the dark shade will take us all, in the end, there is only death
