Our Turn
So tomorrow’s the day we all will cry
We must go on so now we’ll try
To celebrate the moments of your life
While we console your grieving wife
Too many times we follow the trend
And turn in pain to our friends
And cry together, our arms entwined
While we wait for our turn to die
Rest in Peace, Larry

Very moving poem, Tim … my daughter would be 27 today … may they rest in peace … may we have the strength to go on …
Oh God, a daughter. A child of yours. Larry was my cousin. His mother is still alive. I don’t even want to try to imagine that pain.
Tim
We all get there sooner or later. Sorry for the loss of your cousin.
A very moving poem Tim in tribute to Larry. Pain through grief is hard to bare. Time is a healer. But we never forget the loss or completely fill the space they filled. Sending you and your Wife my heartfelt thoughts

A beautiful poem for your cousin. May Larry rest in peace.
Prayers to you & all of his loved ones left behind.
Wow, don’t know you, don’t know your cousin, but through your poem I absolutely felt your pain. Beautifully done
Tina, that is the best compliment a writer can ever receive. The only reason a person writes is to share, to make someone else feel what the writer is feeling, to connect.
Thanks for connecting.
Tim
