Days

When the sunset comes,

And we look back,

To the days and years done,

That we have to re-track.



Do we hang our heads,

And curse the events,

Or laugh and give thanks,

To the blessed lives sent?

That at times caused us sorrow,

And at others great stress,

But are glad that they borrowed,

A part in our best.



And the love and the strength,

They enable us to show,

That by life they were sent,

And to a new life they go.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This dedicated to four friends who lost their bestfriends in the last year, (Mar 2001).
