He was layed to rest just the other day
I can't sleep, eat or know what to say,
Everyone grieves in many different ways
Some close down and get withdrawn
others are sad and cry all the time.
We pray to God and ask him why,
all the while we plead and seek
for answers that cannot be found.
To the world we look like we're doing okay
but at night when laying quietly in our bed
we're weeping into our pillows.
Our grief ever present without any answers.

Poetry: Grief
by Sid de Knees
Hey Dad, I love you.
Oh father promise me, you'll live,
if it should be that I die first,
don't ever starve yourself of life,
or
It is four years now since that awful call
And still I cannot stand up proud and tall
My mind crawling in darkness round
where
Trapped in memories of our yesteryears,
that are locked in archives in my mind,
I can’t advance while stalled in the
Grief
In the grip of grief, I suffer the pain I feel
It is so unreal, the hurt, a distasteful meal
That makes me weep,
Loneliness
When the Dark
Brings Tears
............
I gazed out toward
the cold graveyard
and wondered if
she was peaceful
