Contemplate Mortality

I contemplate the mortality of a stranger
Of whose existance I would have remained unaware
If you hadn't mentioned

A pain of grief 
For a friends relief
From the discomforts of reality

A blessing sent
A kiss upon your forehead
A tear shed
And an angel's song for comfort

Say goodbye, as you look over your shoulder
A wave, a sigh, don't forget
To smile for the good times
