Notes About The Poem

Grief In Mourning

Grief in Mourning
The price of love is grief, so it's been said
There's nothing can tear the magnetic thread
Love's a bond that ties one to another 
Parents, siblings, friends and lifetime lovers.

Though we’re aware in death we come apart
It's tough moving on when we've lost dear hearts
We’ll ofttimes hear them, feel their presence too
Our memories will always guide us through.

People that we love shape the who we are
When gone they'll shine in our hearts alike stars
If you spot white feathers fall from above
They're from angels in heaven sent with love.
