The Passing of a Loved One

At day’s end, the sun sets.
A child might wonder
“Is the sunlight gone forever?”
Then, the sun returns,
And the answer is clear.
Even on a cloudy day,
when we can’t see it,
the sun is still in place...

A loved one,
moves beyond our sight
and seems lost to us,
But soon, in memory,
our dear one is with us again.
