Grief

Grief is the darkness

that leads us to light

Grief is the wrong

that makes things right


Grief is a thief

That gives more than it takes

Grief is a healer,

Make no mistake


Without my grief

Who would I be?

Not me

Not me


Grief is the burden

We don't want to carry

Grief is an emotion

We'd all love to bury


Grief leaves a mark

On the human soul

No one escapes

The force of its pull


Grief is the part of life

We don't want to feel

But it belongs to the unchanging

Cosmic wheel


Grief is the gate

We must pass through

To find joy beyond sorrow

And happiness true


In the depths of my grief

Seeds are sown that can grow

Into tall trees of understanding

With strong roots below


Grief is a teacher

And I am the student

To run from this lesson

Would be most imprudent


Grief is a fire

Always burning inside

On the road to heaven

Grief is the guide


Grief is the low

Of the tide's ebb and flow

Grief is the long night waiting

For the sun to show


Grief is desire

That can't be fulfilled

It touches us all

The weak and strong-willed


Grief is the master

That sculpts the spirit

Grief's not a monster

There's no need to fear it


For hidden inside

the tears we hide

Is a portal to wonder

Where peace can abide


Once you've endured

your deepest sorrow

You can live for the hope

Of a better tomorrow
