    Grieving Garden

    Grief is growing in the grotto

              Where most misfortunes ought to

    Feeling small and meek today

              But the outside world won’t go away

    Worry creeps into my mind

              Grips my chest and clenches tight

    Right outside the leaves are falling

              Deep within I hear God’s heart calling

    Please Lord guide me through these troubled days

              Take my hand and lead the way

    To the river where the burdened pray

              Please take this heavy yolk away

    Sorrow is sown out in the garden

              Where resentment grows and hearts are hardened

    Raindrops stop as tears begin to dry

              Many a heart is left wondering why

    Great piece. Too often when we are grieving, we cannot write about it. This is a good way of self explanation. I enjoyed this, as I have recently been thru this, but this really hit home. Thanks. I shall perceive death in a different way now. Thanks.

    I am really glad you like it. Thanks for reading it.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
