Grief
Grief comes to my door uninvited,
With unwelcome friends ‘round about.
‘Much to be done here’, he muses.
As his work begins, I cry out…
Loneliness leave me alone!
Work gently, but quickly, oh Pain!
Tears, stop flowing! You tire me so!
How long must Grief call my name?
‘Come, sit close, and stay awhile
With Pain and Tears’, says he.
‘Loneliness also will be here
With Sorrow and Misery’.
‘Visit with Sorrow, spend time with Pain
Let Tears become your friend.
And day by day these friends begin
To guide your Grief to its’ end.’
‘Sorrow turns into memories,
Time spent with Pain becomes strength.
Loneliness bows to peace of mind,
And Grief becomes time well spent.’
So, Loneliness, come sit with me.
Let time be our friend, oh Pain.
Tears, flow freely, if you must,
While Grief softly whispers my name.
