When will the day end of sorrow and regrets?
All the if only’s, what if’s, and not yet’s …
All the misunderstandings, that unspoken word …
All the flaws and failures, and debts we incurred.
We wonder with whom, when and how we will die;
Thoughts of that day lead us to mourn and to cry.

While yearning for hope and avoiding the pain
In the midst of the loss, what did we gain?
A chance to be loved and to love in return;
The lessons of grace and forgiveness we learned;
The wise courage to try and strength to endure;
A confident trust and new hope that is sure.

We look for answers of truth, but inwardly sigh:
What happened? To whom? Lord, Why? Why? Why?”
Our loved one was marked with dreams and wishing
But now we are left and the person is missing.
We had all those things we wanted to say,
Yet for now we must wait, we gather, we pray.
