Real Grief

I heard real grief only two days ago, from the tellers lips who told me so: He'd reached the end of his tether that day. he wanted to end his life some way! He said he'd insulted family and friends with things so horrible he'd reached a dead end: no turning back from the course he now chose this was it, his life must close. I thought for a moment and gave this reply; "Better to seek forgiveness before you die. Your family will never really understand why you did something so terribly underhand. I'm sure they will all be there for you to give advice that will help you get through!"

Excellent advice in this verse [do not hestitate to 'ed' a word when it flows better simply to make the end rhyme appear perfect, you can safely stick an 'ed' on the end of 'underhanded' ;) Thanks for stopping by my writing. Light & Love
