Easing the Burden By Larry Chadwick I see the signs of a broken heart, They’re around us every day. It seems we try to ignore it, In the hopes it’ll go away. But these people are brave, And they know how to cope. They write lots of poetry, To honor the lost folks. Heart break is revealed, In the loss of those so dear. Mothers, Fathers and brothers, Sisters, sons and daughters. It really doesn’t matter much, If they’re old or quite young. The loss though less fair, Is hard regardless of the one. We would do well not to wait, For more poetry to be our new clue. Look around and read some more, Pretty soon you know just who. So maybe it is time to reach out, And offer a consoling thought. I know that Floria and Lyra, Have lost an awful lot. I’ll confess I don’t know the words, That work magic in your heart. But I do know it pains even me, That too early your loved ones did depart. Though it won’t be expressed very much, It will always be present for me as you. That every day the loss is the same, And everyday you think of them too. Our prayers go up for you and all others, Who have lost their loved ones so dear. And more courage I hope you’ll gain, When your burden we share right here. February 12, 2002 It isn't an easy subject...but I care.  [This message has been edited by Larry C (02-12-2002 11:11 AM).] |

I’ll confess I don’t know the words, That work magic in your heart. But I do know it pains even me, That too early your loved ones did depart. Your compassion for others is an endearing quality Larry~ This is touching. |

This is great Larry. Loss is so very hard to cope with, writing helps a bit, so does sharing. You’ve penned this with a great deal of understanding. Very nicely done If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
