To suffer loss

To be somebody
Is to suffer loss with dignity and trust
– the loss of a son who dies
– the loss of friends who turn out to be no friends
– the loss of sleep or rest
– the loss of memory
– the loss of peace of mind
– the loss of a poem as the pc crash

To be somebody
Is to embrace loss willingly by faith
Because you are looking forward
For something greater and better
When you have seen the Invisible
The losses in the corruptible world do not matter any more
