A Hard Day

Death has touched us.
A cold, empty the feeling is.
A hardened blackness that is felt in the deepest parts of the soul.


My heart drops a tear onto my deadened soul.
A soul that was once bright and hopeful.
Now only a glimmer of light remains.


But, the value of family is priceless.
A value, when nurtured, that can never be broken.
Family can drag us out of the deepest depths of sadness.


The soul will shine once again with the brilliance of a star in the heavens.
A star infused with love and life.
A new radiant star, from our family, has taken its place in the heavens.
