Grief And Relief
When a loved one's sick to death and gently slips away
Humane caretakers are left
Relationships are bereft and emotions convey
A heart-felt grief and deep relief
Events given replay
When a loved one's sick to death and suffering has past
Those remaining given breath
Seek a contemplative breadth and reasons to be cast
Star in life's act and to extract
Perspectives in the vast
When a loved one's sick to death and memories survive
Tangibility is cleft
Imagination is deft and new verve comes alive
After sorrow and tomorrow
The spirit must revive
