how your passing
something i seem too familiar with
has affected me:
there is always the pang
still grasping for some shred of understanding
as if the end of your earthly life
has some larger significance
pretending that some excerpt from God's divine plan
could alter the doleful chord of my heart.
would i could comprehend it
i should still doubtfully agree
so should i not let God be God
and though i mourn for all those days
when no longer shall your brightly shy smile illumine us
and your altruistic personality grace us
i know that you are far happier now
in the arms of the One who loves you best
and you can't glance in retrospect
on the lugubrious landscape of this world
with anything but disdain
you are home dear T
and we all await our trip there to see you once again
with fondness in our hearts
and memories of your generous love.
