"Every Tear"
(a poem in memory of those lost to Covid 19)

Bless the new Angels in Heaven
Those people we lost this last year
The lives sadly taken from families
The love shown in every tear
The hearts left in pieces, the sadness
The questions un answered, the pain
Each life, a precious soul taken
The grief that will always remain
In memories ,smiles and in laughter
Those moments you'll never regret
The face that you now try to picture
The voice you try not to forget
All those people now out of the picture
As each life tries to cope with despair
Hoping they'll walk through the door soon
And sit on their favourite chair
Tears roll and eyes red with crying
Stare blankly to greet a new day
Life has to go on though your weeping
And the love in your heart paves the way.
