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
