Better
Days
Sometimes when friends lose their mates, it's hard to know what to say. Some special Soup ladies have endured this hardship in the past year. Perhaps just letting them know we are open to listening and offering support will help them heal. Connie and Line, this poem's for you.
The sun will break again for you, my friend
From out of darkness into light, you’ll tread
Your grief, it will subside and may soon end
And I’ll be with you on the road ahead
Recovery’s road goes both up and down
These months without your mate have left you frail
But cast away the tears; you will not drown
It’s time that you remove your mourning veil
Look up to see the friends who stand by you
We know your loss, but struggle to express
And still, we’re standing by till you pull through
So when grief calls, don’t fret or acquiesce
You will not have to make this trip alone
A new start waits till past this grief you’ve grown
