No Words You Can Say

No words you can say for to console a person for the loss of a cherished one A loved husband or wife or partner or daughter or son, Aunt, Uncle, nephew or niece, or friend Only time can truly heal grief why otherwise pretend And so few go through life without bearing some cross Without knowing of the grief that does come with great loss A sorrow with some that does linger for years That often does overflow in bouts of tears Long after the funeral and the condolence words are said the grief does remain Why mental sorrow does linger not hard to explain Only photographs and mental images of one dear left to you to retain And them you are never to meet in the flesh again So few go through life without bearing some cross And words of condolence will do little for your sense of loss.
