Simple does happen on a normal day
simple when someone beloved has passed away?
a friend in sorrow whose heart needs healing
what a stupid question to ask “how are you feeling”?

A stupid question that helps to let go
to let all the tears come out and mourn
and when the grief fades away you realise that
the person asking the question is your real pal

Pray for the departed to rest in peace
pray to God to forgive the sins
support thy friend through sorrow and grief
ask the stupid question to ease the relief

There is the need in times like these
for the obvious to be said “stupid” things
withstand the pain and let the anger out
life goes on and you are still somewhere about
