In Memoriam
The tears you shed for a fallen brother,
in grief, in pain, and in memoriam -
the look in the eyes of his mother.
The light revealed through a smile and a glance,
through words of strength, support, and succor -
the friends found through fate and chance.
The memories, unbidden, of times happy and times hard,
of times of cheer, of challenge, and of change -
the times ahead, yet unsung by your inner bard.
The bits of living that make you sing,
not always with voice, with words, and rhythm -
the events that resonate, to which we cling.
The tears you shed for a fallen brother,
in grief, in pain, and in memoriam -
the ache you would never wish on another.
