Hope
Grief is like a river now
Slow and steady calm and bitter
To get to the other shore
I am stuck near to the shore
I'm not able to lift my foot
To move forward
Waves of sadness are strong
River wants to drift me away
More I resist, I feel overwhelmed
You can’t touch the pain
Which I carry it inside
Sometime it is draining my strength
Some days I can't do anything
Lost, and disconnected
I learned to lean on to this feeling
Deep down in my core, I believe
In the wisdom of my soul
Embracing this pain, agony with hope
Love and patience are needed now
Someday my pain will be gone
When I cross river and reach shore
