Grief - Poem

Grief -

Heart can’t hold, swell of grief

    Welling in my soul

I cannot bear immortal tug

    Toward my heaven home

Remember…,but protect this moment

    Vaulted, private woe

Momentary glimpse, then cushion

    Painful gift bestowed

With one turn, weathered key

    Released earthly foe

An eternal lesson granted

    Acquaintance with Godly sorrow
