This morning, as I shared the two of these with a friend who is struggling, is the first time I have ever noticed how similar in meter this poem is to this song written over a decade before. It's almost as if what I wrote as part of my mom's eulogy is a continuation of the song I wrote following my sister's death. Thematically they are, of course, very different, and I've never even considered setting the more recent of the two to music.
Maybe I could write an ode to my adoptive father, as well, and make it a complete set (er, suite)? I suppose that, if God gives me one in my sleep, I will probably get up and write it down here, at least.
