Grief

Grief

It tears you up, it hurts your soul, it drags you through the dirt

You spend your time just wallowing, in the sadness and the hurt

Like the lightening flash within the dark

You need to try and find your spark

Walking hills and mountain tops, standing in the rain

Yet nothing on this mighty earth, will wash away the pain

You’ve got to reach within yourself, pull your heart out of the bog

Lest you end up stuck inside yourself, surrounded by a fog

For within grief, soon you will find, a mighty strength in you

Put the pieces back together, do what you have to do

Looking back is not the way, that in this life you face

Forward is the way to go, and at a steady pace

Taking with you all the pieces , of the ones you lost

Not forgetting anyone, not at any cost

You take them with you in your heart, in the very air you breathe

Remembering all the life’s they touched, before they had to leave

Remember smells, the songs and things, that always made you smile

Take them with you every step, of every single mile

And sometimes when the grief creeps back, just remember this

The ones you often think about, it’s quite alright to miss

They smile at you from places, that we are yet to know

And with us every single step of everywhere we go

They’re in the things you do ,and in the things you say

The games you like, the food you eat, the music that you play

Their with us in our little traits, the things that we picked up

They knew that we were strong enough, never to give up

So cry the tears, miss the things, feel upset or scream

But remember they’re within you, and they visit when you dream
