Tis a Fearful Thing
Tis a Fearful Thing
’Tis a fearful thing to 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.
-- Yehudi HaLevi
