Poem About The Process Of Healing

Loved And Lost

When you lose
someone you love,
life will change.
You rearrange,
and everything around you
seems so strange.

The world will spin
in the wrong direction.
You feel alone
and want affection.
Your appetite changes.
You may not sleep.
You don't feel like talking
to anyone you meet.

But as time goes on,
things will get better,
and everything
just comes together.

And just because you smile,
it doesn't mean you don't care,
because you know in your heart
that they will always be there.

This is such a beautiful poem; it touches my heart and soul. Some dear friends of the family just passed away, and I want to share this with them. It feels like I lost four of my siblings back to back and a thirty-four-year-old daughter, but I keep them in my heart because of the deep unconditional love we had for each other. It gives me peace of mind. I will always remember your poem.

Man goes and sometime never returns, but love remains always in the heart. Love is truth and everlasting. A man lives for love. Love is the gift of heaven. It is the center point of peace. The poem has touched my mind. The feeling of poet is worth remembering.
