21. Sometimes In Our Lives
Sometimes in our lives
we feel a great deal of pain
because we lose someone special.
These feelings we can't explain.

Does just seeing me come your way make you smile?
Have I ever done something silly, something that made you laugh?
Does the sound of my voice give you joy?
Does the touch of my hand give you warmth in your heart?

Famous Poem
———A simple Child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?
I read this poem many, many years ago in a children's poem book. When my youngest brother passed...I was broken. At his funeral, someone said, "There are only 5 of you now." I thought of this...
The other day I lost you.
How will I ever make it through?
I had to watch you be in all that pain.
We know loss
Because we've felt love and hope.
We know sadness
Because we've understood happiness.
I have lost an ex-lover in a car accident and a babe born sleeping. I've found it easier to accept death from old age and illness, including my grandma who brought me up. I am blessed today...
