Sadness At The Heart Of It All Poem by Shalom Freedman

Sadness At The Heart Of It All



Sadness is at the heart of the end of it all-
So many are gone
So many friends
Who can bear the weight of the longing for them?

Surviving is our dream
But in old age
That is no picnic either-

So many are gone
And will not come again-

On this day lonely to speak to one no longer here
I write these words in my friends’ memory-
