(Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 5:4b)
Pictures of babies held in his arms,
Comforting grandpa.
Wrinkly smile and sparkle blue eyes,
Comforting grandpa.
Tired return to a household unknown,
Comforting brother.
Stories of friends and mates not returning,
Comforting brother.
Admission of shame and hearing the stories,
Comforting father.
Searching with torch to find one who’s lost,
Comforting father.
Memories of sorrows, sadnesses, echoes,
Comforting husband.
Physical ailments, losing of dream,
Comforting husband.
Playing your games and final advice,
Comfort of family.
Taking your leave, Going in death,
Comfort of friends.
