Grief Poem by Phil Soar

To share a thought or two, at time like this
Is not so hard
You can send your Heart-felts sympathy
Accompanied by a card.
But cards can never say enough
When someone close has gone
It's the memories you cherish
That will keep you going on.

No warm and tender feelings
Can express the hurt and pain
No arms can hold back anger
That you fight hard to restrain
The only comfort you can take
In the days that lie ahead
Is friends are close to lend a hand
When life is full of dread.

Your memories will keep you strong
Your sorrow will be shared
In future weeks, as time goes on
Be sure that we all cared
The light may have gone out for now
But only for a while
When you recall your memroies
One day, I'm sure you'll smile.
