I could feel the emptiness that your heart feels.
I could see the sadness in your eyes.
I understood the place you stand…
As a love one passes by.
The loneliness that becomes too real,
The aching in your heart.
Trying to hold on to all that's left…
As our loved ones… depart.
But you must smile at all you have,
Not all that you see pass.
Your love is real and carries on…
The dye has thus been cast.
Your strength of character will see you thru,
As your father would have wished.
He was a man in every sense…
Us Hebrews would call him “ISH”.
