LOSS IN THE FAMILY

She lays weeping through the night

For the loved one she's lost.

If only she could have him back

Again, no matter what the cost.

She has so many questions--

But not sure who or how to ask.

Was this one of his original health problems,

Or one of those horrific pandemic attacks?

Together they raised a family, married

For 60 years.  She brought him to the Lord.

She'll go on without him--

But, oh it will be hard.

He knew he was loved by his

Wife and kids, and extended family

Too.  They knew he loved them back--he

Would go to his shop and spend time tinkering.

The entire family is grieving, so sudden

And such a shock.  They came to celebrate

An anniversary, instead there will be a small

Funeral and their hearts will break.

He was a good, kind man--not perfect,

But who is?  He would never leave

Them if he didn't have to.  The time will come

When they think of him and smile, not grieve.
