Two Words

In a world filled with losses and gains,
One  need to assess both realities.
Most resently, I have considered both when
I saw them wrapped in the words, grief and gratitude.
One word dealt pain and the other released a touch of heaing.
The two words are worlds apart, yet they engendered
Similar emotions in that they make me cry.
