Grief

A poem about grief.

Ripped from our hearts

Lost and bereft

Beating grief

Suddenly depleted

Suddenly departed

Our souls cumbered with a rift.

Time to realize what is true

Whether we grasp

Our life fulfilled

Our life achieved

A life healed

Joyous, joyful, jubilant.

Agony, anguish, sorrow

Take life

To limitation

To fulfillment

Never despair

Never give up.

Gracious, genial, courteous

Always smiling

Always amiable

Thinking of loved ones

Gone to rest in peace

For eternity but not lost.

Treasure, cherish, appreciate

Loved ones here

Healing bones

Rejuvenate, revive, repair

Heartache sedated

Pacify, quell, quite.

Honor, praise, proclaim

Glorious lives

Memorialize

Commemorate

The times we celebrated.
