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 15/03/2025 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 © Michelle Morris, 2025
