With Sympathy
There are no words I can give you
That will relieve you of this pain
Words are too weak, too incomplete
To wipe away the tears I can see
Even when your face isn’t wet with tears
I know that you are experiencing
Feelings beyond sorrow and grief
And I wish that I could take away
The anguish of this day
There are no words or thoughts
That will keep you from feeling this way
Losing someone you love to death
Is a loss that overwhelms the strongest heart
Even the words I long to speak
Won’t come the way they should
Words of comfort don’t seem worthy
Of encouraging when this kind of loss
Is the reason for your discontent
“I’m sorry,” can’t take away your pain
And“I love you” cannot replace
The love of the one you have lost
I only hope you find consolation
In knowing that inside your heart
A love this strong lives on
And you’re in the prayers of us all
With sympathy,
