we want to say they had a good life. 

we want it to be true. 

for us and them.

do we know, what makes it good? yes, i think so.

we think about a good life. sometimes we wish

for another life, life we had, we dreamed, life to come.

we summon life from within us. come out we say

come out and play.

i'm sorry for your loss we say

and have a nice rest of your day.

for all their troubles we say

they had a good life

we lived for them

they lived for us.

that's what we hope 

to say anyway

for all we know

in the end

for all of us.
