Death is a Veil Death is a veil Obscuring the what was Of a life defined by pain and suffering Difficulties in life Remembered now no more Death is a veil Filtering out the sighs, regrets Blotting out the brusque Obliterating the disappointments Illuminating the pleasures Death is a veil Helping us perceive Beyond the physical who was To the memory of a good A beneficent, A cherished loved one Seen now through this veil A legacy of kindness Remaining forevermore Rest in peace, dear one Rest in peace
