A Sweet Thought on Grief

Teddy.15

 

What is grief?

what I know so far, 

it's love that's lost 

the end of the great 

"once was" 

 yet, stays forever

in our soul's 

 as a beautiful memory.

        Beautifully summed up, and no doubt you could add more.
        Grief I suppose is the ultimate loss that shuts down life for a time.
        It can also get you climbing mountains and running marathons for good causes.

          Dear Paul the second line could have been much more fancy and poetic but it seemed to me simple was worth the line thank you so much. 🌹

          Teddy, I’ve always thought grief and love are tangled together in ways we never completely unravel. Sometimes the ache itself tells us just how much something mattered. You captured that gently here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            Such true words Teddy, I have been there when Joyce, my wife, died and she is still with me in my heart sharing it with Mary.

              This is truly great. It captures the sadness of a love lost and the quiet joy of love's remembrance. A wonderful poem. - Phil A.
