Extra chores may push you to exhaustion

Or just make you miss that beauty sleep,

Think of the man who lost his wife

But his baby gives him no time to weep.

Each one is going through this nightmare

In varying degrees of dread,

For some it's minor adjustment

For others, a permanent void instead.

Everyone's losing something or somone

Many are finding it difficult to cope,

But whatever you lose as you travel on

Make sure to never lose hope.

There's light at the end of the tunnel

A definite rainbow after the storm,

Your loss will strengthen your inner core

And you'll learn to cope as you move on.
