Grief Journey

People wish not to admit and believe

That for you, I still everyday grieve.

They don't realize that my pain is profound

After I buried my own child underground;

And think that with time I can forget

Allow joy into my heart, and my life reset.

They just can not at all comprehend

Grieving for one's own child can never end.

I am so lonesome in my grief

Nothing gives me any comfort or relief.

My grief journey will be lifelong

It is wearying but love keeps me strong.

Sadness escorts me as I, alone, walk

Reminisce and, on my tears choke.
