You Took A Risk And The Risk Took You You took a risk and the risk took you And it breaks our hearts to know That you’ve been taken away from us That you won’t be coming home For in the daring, perhaps some say “foolish”, act There was a risk, a chance it would be The final act to your wonderful life Though it’s still hard to believe For of the many who’ll risk…then survive There are always a few who’ll pay The ultimate price we understand it might cost If the odds don’t go their way So your passing will be remembered With poignant sadness, understanding the cost That a risk extracted from you and from us Of dreams denied, of regret, and of loss But even the sadness can’t replace the joy That you brought into our souls For you filled our lives with laughter and smiles Cherished remembrances we’ll forever hold Until the day when we’ll see you again When you’ll wipe the tears from our faces In a place of beauty, where sadness cannot go Surrounded by God’s mercies and His graces 'Til then we’ll find comfort through your memory Feeling grateful for every second you were here And loving you with a devotion only reserved For those we hold most precious and dear Poem Copyright ã 2012-2014 Poems And Reflections LLC.
