We must all take our turn
Of losing those we love.
None of us escape
The pain and hurt inside.
Young or old, we face it.
There is nowhere to hide.
Yesterday was another\'s turn,
Today is sadly ours.
Tomorrow someone else will face
The agony of these hours,
But we must think of life ahead
And wipe away the tear.
The ones who\'ve gone
Are with their own,
While others we love
Are here.
