Unexpected Losses

For a Friend

I am thinking of you tonight
I know your loss feels too great
Almost too much to bear

Though many have walked this path
It is yours to walk today
So draw on your inner strength

And gather your family round you
Tell the stories of his life
And keep on telling them
Today and all the days to come

Those memories are you.
And you are he.
Laugh. Cry. Love. Laugh again.
