Grieve

Thirty-nine and thirty-eight…
Let me get this straight.

Thirty-seven and thirty-six…
How can I be in this fix?

Thirty-five and thirty-four…
Are you sure there is no more?

Thirty-three and thirty-two…
What can I do?

Thirty-one and thirty…
Now I'm getting shirty!

Twenty-nine and twenty-eight…
I don't accept this fate!

Twenty-seven and twenty-six…
I refuse to be in this fix!

Twenty-five and twenty-four…
I’ll settle this score.

Twenty-three and twenty-two…
What's my life worth to you?

Twenty-one and twenty…
If it's money, I've got plenty.

Nineteen and eighteen…
I demand to stay on the scene!

Seventeen and sixteen…
C'mon! On a deal, I’m keen.

Fifteen and fourteen…
Your stubbornness is obscene.

Thirteen and twelve…
I’ve negotiations to shelve.

Eleven and ten…
I guess I'll just give in.

Nine and eight…
It's getting late.

Seven and six…
This, I can't fix.

Five and four…
There is no more.

Three and two…
I love you.

One and done.

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 9/26/2024 11:40:00 AM Hello Linda flower, that is a lot of grief. too much I think. Time will heal that grief. Hugs. /Darlene/ Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 9/27/2024 10:00:00 AM Hello Linda Fowler, i did not know there are 5 steps to grieving. I just remember the anger after that i was okay. My husband made me angry. Because hed died, i can not ask him questions. so I have unanswered questions to woinder why. Hugs. /Darlene/ Linda Alice Fowler Date: 9/26/2024 12:54:00 PM Yes, it is much to go through Darlene De Beaulieu. They say there are five to seven steps in the grieving process. I've written to only five. Thank you for visiting! hugs :)
