Loss

When loss grips you with its might
Strong enough to lose your sight
Memories can haunt you so
Unless you let the gratitude flow
For every moment you had to share
Knowing nothing could ever compare
For without, you would not be who you are 
The special times led you like a star
So the deeper the grief, the deeper the love
That will shine forever from above
Be all you can be as your loved one knew
Be grateful for all the loving times so true

*This is not to minimize loss/grief in any way as it stays with us always, but this gratitude helped me through tragic loss in life.

Robert Lindley Date: 6/10/2017 1:57:00 PM SUCH I HAVE FELT OFTEN. Loss that brought epic pain and sorrow my friend. Youth has many advantages but many follies too. For love lost hurts far more when tooooooooo young to rationalize cause, effect and Fate.. Love your gem my friend.. May your pen produce massive fruits and well watered trees..

Heidi Sands Date: 6/10/2017 1:31:00 PM Yes, very hard to do. Loss has such a huge impact on us. It was actually the only way I could cope with it. But it stays with me forever. Thank you for your visit, Darren. I hope all is well.
