Sharing

Today,my friend,we chanced to meet

and tears in your eyes.

You'd just been to the grave side

of my daughter,who had died.



From your saddened visage,

clear,again,it was to see

you also loved my daughter,

and you cried for her,and me.



This accidental meeting

helped connect us through tears.

Lori's spirit shines within us;

in our friendship,she appears.
