Grief and Courage

During the holidays my wife and I were having a discussion about our Being With Grief meetup group. We started this group over a year ago and now have over 60 members. That number tells us there are a lot of people out there who recognize that they are suffering and grieving for one reason or another. Yet, only a handful of those people actually show up at each meeting.

For the Broken Hearted

i write this to all who need some love

take a look at the sky up above

There is someone listening to your prayers

They know your asking and they care

People can be mean an no filter to their mouth

I love my man he's from the South

i love when he says yes sir and yes ma'am 

He truly loves me for who I am

i was told from a young age

miss you

I often wonder where you are

can you hear me from afar 

there is nothing to gain from your loss in my eyes

others are quick to judge but they've got a grudge

people don't know the feeling of grief if they have not experienced it

how do they know if they never felt it

for me it was and is life changing 

I try not to go back to that day

My Father, My hero

Here I am and would give anything to hear you
I would give a big hug so tight
I would have helped you make it right
So many demons and dark issues would appear
You were so strong you never shed a tear
We were so much alike
In so many ways
I was your mini me
Up until the very next day
I'll always love you my dad my best friend
