A poem for my mother, shortly after my brother took his life in 1983
Just a Touch of Gladness, Just a Touch of Sadness

Those memories of loving him
The sharing of his life
Should remain in your heart
With just a touch of gladness

Those memories of wondering
Why he did what he had to do
Should remain in your heart
With just a touch of sadness

The laughter we had together
Should be treasured forever and ever
Remember those special moments
With that touch of gladness

His death we'll never forget
Love and support was spread upon us
To remember this we cry
With that touch of sadness

Remember the laughing eyes
Remember all the why's
Remember just one more thing
We had more of all the gladness
