Songs, Tears, and Laughter

These are not dark times

Even on this day of loss

Of songs, tears, and laughter

Hearts are broken and clouds cover the sky

Who'd dare try to blanket your brightness!

On this dim day with the family and friends you've touched

Songs are sung of your brilliance

A harmonious universe of love, warmth,

Gratitude, loss, and heartache

Verses that bring forth tears and laughter

These are dim times Of songs and tears

These times will pass

And soon—ever brighter!—

Your brilliance will shine again

Bringing verses of laughter

In Loving Memory
