It’s always very painful when a loved one passes on
It may have been expected but you miss them when they’re gone.
You know their trouble’s over and they’ll have no more pain
But still you realise sadly you won’t hear their voice again.
Other folk around you do not know what they should say
They will say how sad they are your loved one’s passed away.
They may even cross the road so they don’t have to utter
Words of pompous platitudes that they can only mutter.
It takes a little time before the pain will leave your mind
And you realise all your friends are only trying to be kind.
Then you think about their life, which they’ve lived to the full
And maybe how they’ve taught you every golden rule.
Their life was full of happiness of which you were a part
And they will always have a special place within your heart.
You know they would not want to think of you in tears
They’d rather that you celebrated all their golden years.
So throw away your sadness and in a little while
You will find it easy to allow yourself to smile.
