There are stages of breaking
And stages of mending
And stages of pain
That can seem neverending
Stages of Loving
Of living & Dying
Stages of honesty
After the lying
Stages of crying
Till your eyes are sore
Stages of pleading
Till your throat is raw
Stages of finally walking away
Stages of starting a new life today
Stages of loving being alone
Stages of family filling your home
Stages where grief fills all of your time
Stages you have to leave it behind
Stages of life are simply Stages
They Start and they end
Like poems on pages
Hold on through the bad
And sail into the good
For the stages will end
Like I said that they would
