Death is a fee to which we all must pay,

Often an award to those who’ve lived a life in dismay.

But for the people that care for you, to the very utmost,

An unexpected mourning, for a fraction of the cost.

When you love someone so deeply, and you cannot fathom their absence,

You need to embrace the moments that you’ve shared, regardless of the time spent.

Because one day inevitably, they’ll be gone to your touch,

To your voice, to your phone calls, that never seemed long enough.

Whether we’ll meet again, maybe after this life,

Or walk parallel again, different dimensions aside.

You’ll be in my thoughts still, until my very last gasp,

Rather than slipping away, into our memory’s past.

Wherever you are, I hope that you are safe,

And at least enjoyed yourself when you were stuck in this place.

For now, we really miss you, as we celebrate a Mother, Sister, Daughter, and Wife,

And I look forward to meeting you again, in this next form of “Life”.
