Words for a Grieving Daughter

We all have a reason,

We all have a rhyme.

This is your season,

This is your time.

 

To show that you learned,

What was taught to you,

The pay your mother earned;

So do not feel blue.

 

She watches on;

From heaven above,

From dusk to dawn

Guidance and love.

 

 Take time to grieve;

That is allowed.

Then it’s time to achieve,

And make mother proud.

grieving has so many "stages" that are very real ..that moving on point i think is the last one ... in reflecting ...i think it is the realization that the loss is with us always ..only not so much of a sorrowful burden ... its flavored with that sweetness in "..sweet sorrow" ... your poem also brings to mind how as parents we carry not only our grief but that of our children as well ... i hope all is well Todd ... this is not a perspective often taken ...

Lovely poem. Loss is always difficult to overcome.
