An Unbearable Sorrow
When the greatest of all judges of the
universe gives a judgment, it is ever
thus,
It’s been a long while since you both
left,
You each went separately in peace
and without any fuss,
I felt gutted then, and even now, I am
still utterly bereft.
You were two of the most generous,
tolerant and loving people I have ever
known and met,
You lived your lives selflessly, pleasing
others without any regret,
In your love and care, not once did I
ever feel neglected or deprived,
Our shared memories will never fade,
and without fail, every day they are
revived.
I know we are born, and then we will
die,
I hear it, I see it, but I still struggle to
understand why,
I know you are both looking down on
me from the skies,
That’s why I tell myself every day not
to be sad and not to cry.
There’s no one now to wipe my tears
or to chase away my gloom,
I selfishly believe you were taken from
me way too soon,
Your absence has left a void in my soul
and a hole in my heart,
And the heaviness of things not said
and unfinished still lingers, refusing to
depart.
You were both deeply loved and are
now sorely missed,
I have accepted your absence and
found solace in the knowledge that
you are both resting in a place of
comfort and bliss.
For in the loss of a loved one, there’s
a lesson in the gloom,
To live, love and treasure each other
in the now, and to avoid regrets that
can consume.
