Disheartened. Poem by David Boyce

Disheartened.

I can't help feeling saddened,
Feeling emotional and drained,
When the words are passed to me,
After their suffering and pain.

Loss after a sudden death,
Or a short illness,
Can leave so much heartache,
And so much of a mess.

As legal issues are being resolved,
Anger filled arguments ensue,
Without any thought of the heartache,
Or the pain and stress it's causing you.

Your loved ones would be disheartened,
Really upset and distraught,
Because of these selfless mannerisms,
Are not what you were all taught.
