Grief is the darkness
that leads us to light
Grief is the wrong
that makes things right
Grief is a thief
That gives more than it takes
Grief is a healer,
Make no mistake
Without my grief
Who would I be?
Not me
Not me
Grief is the burden
We don\'t want to carry
Grief is an emotion
We\'d all love to bury
Grief leaves a mark
On the human soul
No one escapes
The force of its pull
Grief is a part of life
We don\'t want to feel
But it belongs to the unchanging
Cosmic wheel
Grief is the gate
We must pass through
To find joy beyond sorrow
And happiness true
In the depths of my grief
Seeds are sown that can grow
Into tall trees of understanding
With strong roots below
Grief is a teacher
And I am the student
To run from this lesson
Would be most imprudent
Grief is a fire
Always burning inside
On the road to heaven
Grief is the guide
Grief is the low
Of the tide\'s ebb and flow
Grief is the long night waiting
For the sun to show
Grief is desire
That can\'t be fulfilled
It touches us all
The weak and strong-willed
Grief is the master
That sculpts the spirit
Grief\'s not a monster
There\'s no need to fear it
For hidden inside
the tears we hide
Is a portal to wonder
Where peace can abide
Once you\'ve endured
your deepest sorrow
You can live for the hope
Of a better tomorrow
