Grieving Poem by Phil Soar

Grieving



They smiled awhile
They cried awhile
They shared the memories awhile
They talked awhile
They walked awhile
And mourned the love they had awhile

The trembling hands that sought each other
Arms wrapped around the ones that loved
No words expressed the swell of emotion
As much as the sum of the loving devotion

They smiled awhile
They cried awhile
They shared the memories awhile
They talked awhile
They walked awhile
And mourned the love they'd had awhile

Gathered in search of the right thing to say
Stuttering uneasily as they stood up to pray
Guessing that nothing could stand in the way
Of the pent up emotions, let out on the day

Laughter awhile
Tears for awhile
Memories made from yesterday's thoughts for awhile
Talking awhile
Walking awhile
Goodbyes filled with thoughts of the pain for awhile

Sympathy sits lonely on top of a cloud
The rain falling lightly but seemningly loud
Discussions of love and afection galore
Remembering loved ones, with us no more
