'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."

- Yehuda HaLevi
