A Family of Five

A family of five,
In the blink of an eye,
Became a family of four-
In our bittersweet goodbye.

A family of four,
Stood strong and stood tall.
Never leaving each other,
We were there through it all.

A family of four,
Saw our roots reach down deep.
Our love for one another,
A wonderful harvest to reap.

A family of four,
Bid our loved one farewell.
On the wings of an angel,
Entranced in death's unique spell.

A family of four,
Tries to deal with the loss.
To see you again,
A million miles we must cross. 

A family of four,
Left here on this earth.
Wait to see you again,
When we die in rebirth.
