Unavoidable Pain

Death
Such an inevitable end
Such an oft-felt pain
Rips many young hearts
To see one life end as another just starts

Life
Pushes you forward and on
Makes you witness all that's wrong
Gives you love, then leaves you to mourn
And with no choice but to move on along

A song, a story, a memory,
An emptiness that won't cease.
A longing, a wish, a prayer
That where ever he is, he is in peace.

I miss you, Bappa.
