Cry, wail, lament, and mourn
The love you shared, and the fact
You will never see your
Lover,
Soul-mate,
Dearest friend again.
But rejoice, celebrate, and be joyous,
That their soul has left
The weak, sick, form they once inhabited.
They suffered and were in pain.
They cried out to be put out of their miseries
But held a strong face.
They watched the sympathetic faces of the blurring crowd;
But one stood out among the rest.
The true visage of their love
And the sorrow that clouded their eyes.
That sorrowful love made the pain
Better and
Worse.
In those last moments of life they want
That person beside them,
That last look,
That last "I love you,"
And that last image in their eyes,
Burned into their mind is
You.
To them that is the best. most wonderful sight
In the world.
In that moment they know
They have not died in vain.
While you cry after they pass,
They rejoice with the knowledge of seeing
You, one last time and that you are living on.
So be sad for today,
But remember they left you to live
And be happy.
So cry for today,
BUT
Awaken tomorrow with a new purpose,
The purpose of living for your love.
*The purpose of Death.
