Death is but a breath away                                                                                                        How fragile is our hold on life                                                                                                    Here one moment, gone the next                                                                                                 You can look at it in many ways                                                                                                  Your loved one is gone from your presence                                                                                     But is with the Greater Presence forever                                                                                  Memories embedded in your heart                                                                                                  Will surface again and again                                                                                                        Sadness at loss, elation at everlasting life                                                                               Momentary numbness, but tears will come.
