In Which I Try, Just Try, To Make It Easier, But Probably Don't

A life can change so quickly, in one's sleep.

Someone we've always counted on can go

Away without a warning, leaving deep

And lasting wounds that may not always show

Once they're not fresh. As my dear Donna told

Us all today, take time to hug someone

You love or at least tell them. New or old,

A friend, a spouse, a lover, or a fun

Playfellow can be taken. Oh, dear Tee,

And Sonic Boom, sweet, too, you're in my thoughts,

As little as that really proves to be.

All I can do is send my love -- and lots.

And hope that you and yours find strength and wish

That we all could do more than simply this.
