I buried a diamond today
But first I marveled at its beauty
It shone so bright
And left a light I could not deny

I made a path today
Containing trial and error
It led my way
And let me free so I could wander

I picked a rose today
And it reminded me of him
Its petals so red
And I began to weep

I buried a friend today
His laughter well-missed
His body lay, so pale and gray
Missing the blush in his cheeks

I sat and wrote today
Putting down line after line
But the pain only fades
A little at a time
