'Tis A Fearful Thing' by Judah Halevi

'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.

Yeah I know it uses the word 'holy'. Just substitute something else if you have to. I love the emotional response it brings out in me.
