Seasons of grief
Cold and frost define
Your loss
Christmas cheer
Jars with the
Devastation of grief
Your heart shattered
By love and loss
A future changed
Scarily unknown
Far too soon for goodbye
In the dark shadows
Hold on to
Your love, your memories
The gifts of joy
Celebrated, precious
Your greatest gift
Of your love and care
Leaving this world
At home with those he loves
And always will
Be warmed by this love
And those around you
Kindness and love will cause
The frost to thaw
Hold it close
There will be happier times
Again for you all
Spring will follow in time
As will summer
Till then keep
Warmed by those who love you.
I wrote this poem for a young family who have lost a husband and a Dad this week. It's my way of trying to bring comfort, as much as anyone can just now. I share it in case it helps anyone else struggling with loss just now. A thinking of you all.
oh Audrey,
ReplyDeletethis poem you wrote is so beautifully poignant. how kind and caring to reach out to your friends at such a devastating time and offer such caring and wishes for them to be comforted.
I, too, during this holiday season, feel you have spoken to my heart with such kindness and sensitivity. and I am sure many others who read what flowed from your anguished compassion and empathy will also take them to heart. I am so very sorry for the loss of this young Father and Husband; I am sending out my love and sympathy to his family, and to you, too, dear Audrey.
much love and gratitude,
Karen
Oh thank you Karen, I'm so grateful for your words. I was feeling helpless, so it's good to know my words helped you too. Thinking of you and yours at this time
