There Are No Words....

There are no words to tell you
what can I really say?
To help ease the grief you feel
of this tragic loss today.

There are no words to measure
the depth of your pain
And though you will never forget her
her memory will remain.

There are no words to take away
the heartache that you bear
Just take comfort in faith in God
and those around who care.

There are no words to express
my heart goes out to you
For we share this loss you feel
and our thought are with you too.

There are no words that describe
the pain that's in your hearts
Just take comfort in her memory
for she' still in your hearts.

There are no words I can find
what can I real say?
Nothing seems real to you now
as it was just yesterday.

There are no answers to explain
why a young life ends
I can only say take comfort in God
and your memories of Jen.

"When my parents called with the tragic news that my brother's wife had been killed in a car accident, I was shocked! As the news slowly sank in, my heart began to ache for those left ~ those who loved her.....her parents, brothers, and close friends....I wrote this poem for them all. How could I express to them their loss? What words can you say? There are none. And although her and my brother were separated, he was devastated also....This poem is for them all.

I have since used this poem for many others who have lost a loved one, changing some of the words to suit their own situation. For there are no words you can say to help ease the pain one feels at the loss of someone close to them."
