Please be gentle. Will You?
Please be gentle with me for I am grieving. The sea I swim in is a lonely one and the shore seems miles away. Waves of despair numb my soul as I struggle through each day. My heart is heavy with sorrow. I want to shout and scream and repeatedly ask why. At time, my grief overwhelms me and I weep bitterly, so great is my loss. Please don't turn away Or tell me to move on with my life. I must embrace my pain before I can begin to heal. Companion me through tears And sit with me in loving silence. Honor where I am in my journey Not where you think I should be.
