What is Grief?
is it the sadness that creeps in when reality sets once again that you won’t be picking up on
the other end.
What is Grief?
Is it the waves of anger that wash over whenever I feel robbed by time or is it that you were
able to get out before I could get my answers to questions that seem to keep popping up in
my mind?
What is Grief?
The regrets that I didn’t reach forgiveness faster?
Jealous of the memories others had I was after?
Is it making amends to pretend I’m at peace that I won’t get to dance with my father again??
My favorite teacher taught me the greatest lesson in the form of grief.
He taught me he died for you and me.
In your death you resurrected all the ways I was again.
Grief made me proud to have learned what I did.
Grief made me reach for the poetry within.
Grief made me cherish the legacy you left behind.
GRIEF SHOWED ME YOU WILL ALWAYS BE BY MY SIDE
