Strength is this

With every loss
There is a gain
Every tear
Is not in vain
Something learned
Reason to ponder
I hold my thoughts
Your memory fonder
I treasure you
And have no fear
To move ahead
I must adhere
To life's purpose
Hope essential
Faith devout
Prayers are answered
Laughter sprouts
Forever through
This worlds tragedies
And in between
My brothers flame
Will conquer rain
