Why I Loved C D 's Poem Better Days

This poem of Carolyn touched my heart deeply. Going through this poem
    I recollected my intimate friend whose sudden demise had wiped out half of colors of my life.  One who is lucky to have a True Friend, knows well how much painful is the loss. Emotions and Feelings of Carolyn always moved me.
              We were tied in a tender bond of mutual likings.
I expect, P.S. will choose three poems of Carolyn to be included in coming Anthology.

WHY I LOVED C.D’s Poem  ‘Better Days’

    The sun will break again for you, my friend
   From out of darkness into light, you’ll tread
   Your grief, it will subside and may soon end
    And I’ll be with you on the road ahead

   Recovery’s road goes both up and down
     These months without your mate have left you frail
    But cast away the tears; you will not drown
   It’s time that you remove your mourning veil

  Look up to see the friends who stand by you
  We know your loss, but struggle to express
    And still, we’re standing by till you pull through
    So when grief calls, don’t fret or acquiesce

   You will not have to make this trip alone
    A new start waits till past this grief you’ve grown

I will start looking for Carolyn tribute poems today so I can post the list quickly when my "uncontest" closes out by next weekend. Oh, ANisha, you chose a wonderful poem to show us of Carolyn's. Yes, so many of her poems touch the art, and this is a superb example of that. Thanks so much for sharing.
