Look over your shoulder
And you will see
Threads intricately woven
Into a tapestry
Of color, light, and shadow
A trail behind you
That brought you
To this day
Look ahead
With faith and hope
That this woven fabric
Will continue throughout
The rest of your life
See the faint glimmer
Of golden threads
Dream and plan
Then bravely make
That next step
Along the path
You are already on
Woke up to an ache in my heart
An old friend lost her granddaughter
Weepy all day
feeling grief for my friend
Have you noticed
When you open your heart to grief
All the sorrow of the world
Comes squeezing in?
And the world is full
And the earth groans
Loss and love are holding hands
The loss of a precious one
Is too vast for one person to hold
Maybe when we grieve with others
We help carry that heavy load
