I'm Sorry For Your Loss: A Poem

Hello, lovelies!

I had a post scheduled for this past weekend, but I clicked the "save" button instead of "publish, so it never ended up in the blogosphere, which is a bit annoying. However, I'm back now, and this is a poem I've written recently that was inspired by a friend. If they're reading, I think they'll know who they are once they read it.

As always, please feel free to leave feedback in the comments.

I'm sorry for your loss,

But I won't say it's for the best.

A grieving heart needs to grieve,

Though I pray you will not wallow in the past.

I'm sorry for your loss,

But I won't say you need to shoulder it alone.

A battered mind needs to rest;

I hope you know I'll always answer the phone.

I'm sorry for your loss,

But I won't say you'll get over it fast.

A weary soul needs to breathe,

Though I hope you will find some peace at last.

I'm sorry for your loss,

But I won't say sorry is good enough.

A shattered family needs to heal,

I hope you know it's still okay to feel.

I'm sorry for your loss,

But I can't make things okay.

A distraught cry needs to be heard,

Though I worry you will not find yourself today.

I'm sorry for your loss,

But I pray you won't despair.

A phoenix falls only to rise again;

For you, I will always be there.

I'm sorry for your loss.

That is all.

Cheers,
