V eer off into the sunset when you're done,
E mbracing ordinary life again.
T here is no better antidote for pain.
E ach normal day's another battle won.
R emembering is good, reliving bad,
A s what one buries tends to haunt the night,
N or will it rest until it's bathed in light,
S oaked in tears, and then in clear words clad.
D o not relive the past, but honor it.
A s you move on, let go, but don't forget.
Y ou lay your wreathes to music, sweet but sad.
E mbracing ordinary life again.
T here is no better antidote for pain.
E ach normal day's another battle won.
R emembering is good, reliving bad,
A s what one buries tends to haunt the night,
N or will it rest until it's bathed in light,
S oaked in tears, and then in clear words clad.
D o not relive the past, but honor it.
A s you move on, let go, but don't forget.
Y ou lay your wreathes to music, sweet but sad.
