Grief
by Sandra K. Hester
I wish I had the words to comfort you,
In all your pain and grief.
But I know there is nothing I can say or do,
to help you find relief.
Your numbness will soon subside,
and the pain and tears will be real.
Just remember no matter what,
It's ok to feel what you feel.
Each day may seem like a burden,
sometimes it will be hard to face.
But they will never stop loving you,
just because they're in a new and better place
They will live on in your hearts,
you will all have memories to share.
And when your time on earth is through,
with open arms, they will be waiting for you there.

About the Poem

This poem was inspired by the death of a loved one.
Experiencing grief first hand at the loss of our son,
I know the pain and sorrow it can bring.
In my desire to comfort them
I found these words say it best.
No matter what you feel, It's ok.
For not even death can break the bonds of love.
I thank God for my talent to write poetry.
And I dedicate this one in memory of our son Brandon.
And to our son Seth for the courage to help us move on.
