Sorrow

The grief is hard to carry

But you can only miss
what has given you joy

The joy and sorrow
As the sun and rain

Grief is a black velvet
It is dignified and serious

It is also beautiful
when you can only feel sorrow
for something beautiful that has been
or could have been

If you refuse to feel the sorrow
You will not
dare not
or can not be bothered

Then you can not remember the joy
You once knew
For what you now mourn

Wear your grief
and your joy

with pride

Your advice is truly wise
Your expression is nice

By taking your kind admonition
One can stabilize one's emotion.

With best wishes,

Grief is a burden of our humanity and a blessing of our love. You've expressed it perfectly.
