Tears and sadness
Mixed with gratitude and gladness
Of lives well lived
Because we give to each other
All that is in our hearts

The trick
Is to glide through the illusion
That we understand
And be
In each glorious moment

We can enhance the web of knowledge
And experience the best of our time
Making something good

Tears yet gratitude
For all we have been given
In the lives we have shared

Each of us who remains in this realm
Honor in the depths
The blessings we carry forward

We do well to acknowledge what has passed
But is not lost
We deserve to be happy

Tears and willows
