the words so easy to speak
as an observer, outside
to try to assuage their pain
even if we believe this
their loved one,
taken from them
a cavity, a gaping wound
the only solace, the hope
that they are beyond the
pain of cancer
drinking of the waters
in the gates of the Lord
but knowing too their pain
a life that will not be
restored
