I feel your sadness
intertwined with pain
loved ones who have left
there is no gain
So young
filled with pain of their own
not knowing what to do
now they are gone
Lost communication
trials till the end
each expressing pain
trying hard not to give in
Death won this round
leaving sadness in its wake
families are crying
some are beginning to shake
There is hope
as friends and family gather round
knowing they will be together
when the veil is unbound
God grants us grace
to continue to live on
He holds our departed loved ones close
protecting their souls from harm
One glorious day
we will hold each other again
in God's mighty kingdom
where pain and suffering will never win
