Every morning is a new day, a new chance,
Smile a little wider or weep a little less.
The pain of losing a father, mother, daughter,
Son, sister or brother is unimaginable.
We ask ourselves 'What Now? '
And the answer to that is for us to find.
Our tears will not cease nor will our pain,
But the memories and the love remain.
Their spirits are stronger than ever,
Watching us like silent angels, though our eyes fail to see them.
We feel their warm, calming presence,
And with it comes the knowledge that all is in God's hands.
So look around now and see what surrounds you,
The bond of family and friends which nothing will ever shake.
Life is short and has its path for us,
None of us knows where it will lead.
What you should remember is that when we lose someone,
We are not parted for life, but bonded closer forever..
