In a moment of gloom and sorrow the mind often delves

Yet, life’s a journey with paths of sorrowful stretches

Many will often occur at times when least expected.

Either with the sudden lost of a dear beloved one

Or a precious acquaintance met along the way

It’s hard to move forward, and easy to tarry

Thus our journey becomes one mired in sadness

Laden with sorrowfulness and feeling of regrets

As we wend our way toward our own final destination,

Inevitably we wonder about what awaits at journey's end.

Giving pause to all that which we have no control over

Where and when and how to prepare loved ones for then

Forgetting the ride of the moment is to be enjoyed.

If we make beautiful memories a permanent companion

Unload the heavy burdens of regrets, and sorrows

Leave them with things that belong to tomorrows

Sadness of another time will take care of themselves
