‘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.
~ Judah Halevi
~ 12th century Spanish Jewish physician, poet and philosopher
