Someone Loved Much Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Death has only one face.
To know when it comes to never be replaced.
And when the absence of life,
Once experienced to move on...
Those familiar with a love once touched,
Identify immediately...
Death has come to take someone loved much.

Life lived presents a temporary enjoyment,
Not to forever exist.
And when that time comes to witness it go,
We all come to remember,
That special one cherished and got to know...
To never forgot the life within them gifted to flow.

And as death comes to pass one of us along,
It is difficult to hide that pain felt inside.
But celebrate we must that someone loved much.
Although their presence will be missed,
With a deepness felt that is reminsced.
It is not death that should bring anyone to tears.
It is the happiness shared to be remembered that lives.

Death has only one face.
To know when it comes to never be replaced.
And when the absence of life,
Once experienced to move on...
Those familiar with a love once touched,
Identify immediately...
Death has come to take someone loved much.
But...
Never to be forgotten.
