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. 24th April 2021 Grief in 12 lines or less Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Line Gauthier * * *

Belle, you express such a wonderful gift of compassion and gentle consolation. The feather image is so touching. Every time I see a feather I will think of your last lines. This is tender as a hug. Congratulations! Blessings to you!

They will always be forever in our hearts.... in our minds... Well done. Congrats, Belle. BTW, My daughter's name is Maybelle because she was born in May, but I call her my belle.

Hi Belle, Although we know death is inevitable, we are not prepared for the grief that comes when our loved ones pass away. You penned a good poem on the contest theme. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day- Alexis
