Why Must We Grieve

To cleanse the soul, so often we hear... Does that answer dull the pain? Not even near... The river of grief runs ever so deep, flooding our soul, making us weep... Just hearing the sound of our own cries, makes life unbearable when a loved one dies... Why must we grieve? If only twas faith that helped us believe...Saying goodbye tis a sadness we share, collapsing beneath the crosses we bear... The pain of grief is a two edged sword, one side wounding, the other striking a healing chord...So why must we grieve I ask yet again, if only to drown in a sea of pain.... With Love Grandma... Vickie
