5/9/10


I found her, bitter, weeping to the night,
Mourning a friend who too soon did depart.
Tears on her cheeks shone in the bright moon light;
Over I went and held her to my heart.
“Why did they have to leave so soon?” she wailed,
“All that time yet, I never had prepared;
It seems like some injustice has prevailed:
I never said how much I truly cared.”
“Fear not,” I told her, “that need not be said.
They knew it all, and so, yes, they too cared,
Regret the loss not, remember instead,
All of the joyous times that you had shared.
Take comfort now, give your sadness its bane,
Know that, some time, you will see them again.”
