Are for the big wide world to see
Unexpected news of deaths invite
A private answer - just from me.
An email or an SMS
On such occasions is not right
A phone call might cause needless stress;
I weigh up carefully what to write
In letter or in greetings card
Words of comfort from the heart
How to marshal thoughts is hard
This Vale of Sorrow is so dark ...
My Guardian Angel is close by
I pick up vibes of empathy
Time to meditate; I try
To say I care – that is the key...

You sum up exactly how it feels when struggling to put the almost impossible into words. Thank you.
