Look Back

Sometimes it's hard to look back
On things we can't forget--
It's difficult remembering
The hurt, the pain, and yet...
If we can look together,
It's easier to bear--
Sharing moments -- memories,
That always will be there.

So let us take a look back
Through bits of yesterday--
Let us take a journey now
To days that never fade...
Some filled with golden glory,
Some cast in shades of grey--
Facing them together is
Much easier to face.

Together if we look back
Then each of us may find--
It's easier to look ahead,
To let tomorrow shine...
If we share our memories,
The best will still remain--
And yet we'll have found a way
To leave behind the pain.

Two friends who helped me
face the struggles and the pain...
and made it easier to remember.

And to all those who have helped others in their moment of loss by being there...
