Grief poem from Gems of Inspiration by Gary Stuart

Grief

Grief oh grief

      You’re like a lowly thief in the dark of the night

and cut a deep wound as sharp as a knife

Grief oh grief

You stole my loved one and took their life

now all I feel is an endless strife

Grief oh grief

You can’t ever be denied

because all you do is make, people cry 

Grief oh grief

You are crafty and sly

       and act as insidious as a dangerous spy

Grief oh grief

Why do you leave us in the dark?

as you steal a body and leave your mark 

Grief oh grief

You mercilessly feed on life’s fragile “Spark”

and leave a great sadness that’s locked in our hearts 

Grief oh grief

We must let you go to prove to ourselves

that we are in control 

Grief oh grief

You haven’t conquered my soul,

I’m taking charge now and letting you go!
