Honor Life

One can only do so much

For those they hold so dear

Listen and respond to them

Ease away each and every fear

One day they will answer back

They’ll show you that they care

But what if that day won’t come

Because they say life just ain’t fair

Each time you look into their eyes

Look for the aching in their heart

Pain is hidden in all of us

Waiting for the healing just to start

Unseen is the hand of despair

The awful might of gloomy fate

Can often be directed away

To what is a more friendly state

Loneliness consumes us all at times

It overruns our deepest thoughts

The evil it projects inside our minds

Reflects all our fights we fought

However its power is small

Control is does not need to obtain

With love and compassion from one

Enough to fuel and sustain

A life of love and fulfillment

With friends at each turning way

Can rid us of the evil

That we encounter each and every day

We do not have to shorten

The privilege we have been given

Of life on earth we know so well

A life that we need to must be driven

By friendship and companions

Always at our beckoning call

Ready to aid us in our situation

Ready to pick us up after we fall

When those people are no longer there

We reach out to find another course

And it might not be the best of choices

One that would cause only remorse

A life ending shorter than expected

Is something we cannot bare to feel

Our hearts sink to the lowest pits

An emotion one is not meant to feel

Goodbyes are the hardest things to say

Along with grieving in regret

Of what you wanted to say before

Their soul is one you might forget

Don’t lose the image of those you love

Listen to your hearts impressions

To act upon whatever you feel

Before they meet the next dimension

Death is a barrier between two beings

Closely connected hear in our stay

Communication is not simple

But there is another way

Hold their life in the highest manor

Honor their accomplishments on high

Realize they have done good to you

And don’t forget to say good-bye
