"A dagger of pain, a tear of grief." Quote by _Constance I go to the forest where we once walked, and stroll down the paths where we laughed and talked; each time "to weep the tears that never learn" ... in this place we loved my grief is unlocked ! Will always love you- but now my thoughts turn, to remembering Mom ... oh, how I yearn; the pages of life flutter in the breeze ... I can look back but can never return ! I read the beloved names under the trees, and weep my great grief- falling to my knees; many, too many engraved names in stone ... I come in Wintertime and my tears freeze ! I crying at night when I am alone, and in my dreams your voices moan and groan; for a thousand years and more I will mourn ... will not let go- for my grief is moss-grown !
