Grief Poem - Going home!

Grief means sorrow, as loss of one; especially someone dear.

They're flown off, left us behind, life no longer feels clear.

The waves of grief do come on us like waves thrown on a beach.

But we don't drown, we just feel grief; dear ones aren't in our reach.

We go through shock, depression, too; but times of laughter too,

Don't dwell on loss but what we're left, like stuff that's good for you.

While we're suffering, glory's ahead, exceedingly with joy!

We're born to die - when our time's up, God calls us home. AHOY! 

We're only here a little while, God gave us jobs to do!...
