Sorrow and Love

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
