Where Hope is released to Thrive
Missing those who have passed away can be excruciating, even after years of mourning the Loss.
Grief becomes a frenemy we live with.
Where Hope is released to Thrive
By Michelle Morris

It's been years now since your passing
And I still feel the loss each day
My Grief is a constant companion
Someone I'd never choose willingly again
But he sits there in the corner
Holding on to that box of Hope
I'm grateful he hasn't crushed it yet
The Light is a Glimmer I keep close
And each morning when I wake
Before my conscious self takes over
There's a moment when you're still here
We can talk and share fond Moments
But reality kicks in pretty quickly
Life has schedules that keep our attention
And I have to focus on the present
While you're far away in Heaven
Still, I have Faith and that box of Hope
They're trying hard to grow the Light
To Heal the broken parts of me
That cry out in the dead of Night
One day those edges will be smooth
Well, that's what they try to tell me
That Grief won't take up so much space
And I'll be past the Hell of mourning pleas
Because we each have a Path
This Life Journey filled with Joy and Tragedy
Being Human is the price we pay
To take part in creating God's Tapestry
I try to see the bigger picture
And focus on the positive side
Knowing to Love and experience Loss
Is better than feeling nothing on this Ride
But I accept I can choose a new Space
Where Hope is released to Thrive
Where I can see Glimmers everywhere
And I don't feel Life is too heavy to Survive
So, no more bargaining or deals
The Demons and Angels can wait
I'll do my best to get through Life
Until I'm at last at Heaven's Gate
