Grief Is Like a Snowball

Grief Is Like a Snowball Grief is like a snowball; It begins with the first tear for a childhood loss; A toy, a beloved person, a pet, a school of friends, And it rolls, gathering flakes, Then melting when happiness returns, But never completely, Still melting and gathering, Melting and gathering, Until through the years, Just packed snowflakes and ice remain, There are no more tears Only soft memories of love.

This is POTD quality, Sunlite. I'm really and truly surprised that it was not, in fact, one of the Poems of the Day. It should have been, methinks. A FAVE for sure. Bravo. ~ Gershon
