Let us in grief live on

I know

I have been there;

Excruciating pains

Almost unbearable

But I have survived

More than once.

Those at rest, below,

Perhaps are bidding us to be in peace

For who of us can reverse time

To create from dismal darkness

A glimpse of light.

In grief then that will not leave

Let us walk as we should

Daily dying but daily living

For what more can we do?

I am still there now!

Perhaps the pains will be less

If we pause to hear their voices…

Voices that now have deduced

A memorial to us most welcomed

That we the decedents die not to memories.
