I would have commented
but as I have just returned
from a cremation
my eyes are still wet.

The man was blessed
But now his woman is dead…
But grief can't be over come
in a day or two,
life will take its toll
so will time too

then after a week or so
the sun will return hopefully
with forebodings anew
to restore the wisdom
of the two who lived
as they were together
more than seldom

then when the sun shines
nice and bright
they will see her in the sky
like a sparkling light
they will then say well done
for coming in our life

coming and going
are God's unique ways
soon one will be a star
along, that’s gospel true
remember all till then
dear missed one
will you!
