Loss (Or Loss Is Not The End, My Friend, Loss Is Not The End)

Today the world awakens
Without another in its shadow
The sun rises in its orbit
Looking down with gentle rays
At the billions scattered beneath it.

But today is not the same day,
Today is a day without one 

It is a sad day, a dull day, a mournful day
But a joyous day
Of a life well lived and well loved
Of sons and wives and warm hearts
Of kisses and " I love yous" and

Of relief; for
The suffering, it has passed
The water flows ever on
Rivers of big blue and wet
Turbines still turn and people still walk
Wheels still work and eyes still blink
There is sorrow but there is relief
There are tears, but there are smiles
And there is loss, but there is love.
Is love, always be my love.
Fathers and grandfathers pass on by
But we remain their children eternal
So shine pretty sun
And flow pretty river
And world keep turning

As we smile

One 

More 

Time.
