Dark clouds loom in the sky,

Tears are shed and get mixed

With raindrops.

Sadness is in the air

As we think of the heartache

And grief.

The sounds of sobbing

And the crackle of thunder are heard

In the distance.

Stones line the ground

And spirits mourn

As another soul is lost.

But today is a new day,

A day of happiness and smiles.

A day where some may be lost,

But others are found.

A new day of

Opportunities.

We can still remember,

But we can continue as well,

Because death won’t stop.
