'tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch
a fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be-
to be,
and oh, to lose
a thing for fools, this,
and a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
for your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
to remember this brings painful joy.
'tis a human thing, love.
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.
