Sara Kendrick Poet I do not know?

Life Lessons Learned

Grief took me by the hand
Lead where I didn't want to go
Straight into the valley of tears
That began to constantly flow

Now that grief had acquainted me
With sorrow in the vale of tears
It seemed at eternal spring of weeping
Was where I would constantly live

Then grief brought me up the mount
Where loved ones went before
When escorted in this place 
The lessons to which exposed

Seems now working my way back
Changed forever from that meeting
Grief an aquaintance I had spurned
But now after the greeting

I will never be the same 
Though given another hundred years
Grief taught me more in a few short fears
Than joy with all her pleasings

Daver Austin January 18, 2011 at 3:08 PM I heard that grief and turmoil, once conquered, makes a person stronger. I suppose, but certainly not happier. Good lesson, Sara. LOve, Dave

Phyllis Babcock January 18, 2011 at 9:07 AM Grief can do a lot to a person and we never know where it will carry us. We have to have faith and strength and learn how to deal with it. It is a lesson learned. Love Phyl
