The passing of a loved one   

It's a time of bucket-filled sorrow  

I feel for you, for your loss  

The news about your father  

Your  grieving heart, a waterfall of tears  

No voice to echo or heed your pleas  

You must relish in the memories and wrap them tightly around your heart  

They will comfort your beaten and battered soul  

 

 

 

 

As you ride the waves of life  

Through rough and foamy crests  

Your balance is steadied by an unwavering hand 

Lest you never forget that you are forever blessed  

And your life is touched by those that crossed your path.  \

It isn't always neatly packed and tucked away  

Some nostalgic memories, are hidden and cherished gems within  

If we look deep within ourselves, we glean a calmness so surreal  

Embrace the knowledge that loved ones have not faded or perished in the obsidian night  

The past is what defines us  

The past encompasses our defeats  

The past highlights the painful things one endures  

Tales of a broken past
