...Of Love and Grief

Of Love and Grief

 

In life’s suburbs

There were two neighbours

Joy and Happiness with the daughter Love

Pain and Sorrow with their son Grief

Though they never socialised

They took comfort in knowing each other was there

For one could not exist without the other

One day when they were older and their parents were memories

 Love smiled at Grief and saw him differently

Grief smiled back at Love and neither was scared

They took comfort knowing they grew up on that same street

In life’s suburbs
