’tis a fearful thingto love what death can touch.
A fearful thing to love, to hope, to dream, to be-
to be, And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing to love.
For your life has lived in me, your laugh once lifted me. your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
’tis a human thing, love, a holy thing, to love what death has touched"
Yehuda HaLevi
