This World Is Very Cruel. Poem by David Boyce

This world is very cruel.

This world can be very cruel at times,
Taking away the ones you love,
To a place so tranquil and peaceful,
Known as the Heavens up above.

We know they will be cared for,
By those loved ones who have gone before,
But the heartache and pain right now,
Hurts us all so much more.

This world is very cruel,
When we loved them all so much,
At a time when you want to just hug them,
Or again to feel their tender touch.

They will know we will always love them,
Putting any disputes and arguments aside,
For family bonds are forever,
From birth until we die.
