Grieve Gently My Friend


GRIEVE GENTLY MY FRIEND

 

Grieve gently my friend.

Open wide your heart,

Let sorrow take flight

Along with worry and pain

From the palm of your hand.

 

Grieve gently my friend.

Open wide your heart

To memories of happier days.

Remember the good times

Of love and laughter shared,

Of hugs and gentle touch.

 

Grieve gently my friend

Open wide your heart

For though they are gone,

You are never far apart,

For they are forever

A part of your heart.

  1. I find it takes some years before being able to grieve gently. I'm still in the wildly sobbing stage of grief coming up to the first anniversary of Merry's passing this Saturday. Luckily I know this about myself and booked the day off work.
