Sad indeed, for we do miss them, but sometimes glad when they are suffering. Agape, Moses

I think most will relate to this one as most have lost loved ones. This captures the reality of grief even though we know our loved ones are in a better place. Thank you for sharing your poem with us. Karen

Sad indeed, Phyllis. The only solace we find is in knowing they will enter heaven and we shall meet again one day. Very heart-felt haiku. Love, carolyn
