Because there have been so many lives that
have been taken away from me and lost
in just the last year that cannot be replaced
But I have had to learn how to set my feelings aside
Because I begin to think about so many of my friends
that have
also dealt with loss from people that they have loved
And if they lived closer I would make sure that they
were morally supported and hugged
and also reminded that they are deeply appreciated
Because I would want them all to know that they are still
wanted and needed and loved by me even in times
when there is such deep sadness and sorrow in the world
