GRIEF Joy Love

Grief never ends
Death stole my partner

Feel good most of the time
until asked how I am doing

Grief surfaces
as tears
or as silence
or a automatic answer
in response

Need quiet space after
time to process
time to remember

Grief alternates with joy
Joy sharing a story about her
Joy cuddling with two dogs
she brought into my life

No joy without grief
