How to Grieve

Folder: 
2010 Poetry



How should we choose to grieve,

when it’s a loved ones time to die?

We all know it will eventually come,

for no one is exempt from that outcome.



Life is what it is, whether there’s meaning or not,

so who’s to decide how to personally feel.



I for one choose to celebrate one’s life

when it’s there time to pass on.

For if they weren’t here to die,

they would not have been here at all.

"for if they weren't here to die, they would not have been here at all."
sometimes it takes a poet with wisdom, to make me remember.
