&ldquo;Don&#039;t cry because it&#039;s over, smile because it happened.&rdquo; <br /> ― Dr. Seuss


As I hear the news of your death my heart sinks to the bottom of my chest.
I weep so much my tears could fill a river
As I flow downstream I do not know what lies ahead of me,
I am traveling through rough waters but,
In the distance I can see that the river starts to calm
And the sun comes out of the clouds
That it was hiding under for so long
And like the awakening of morning; good is to come


The author's comments:
I wrote this poem right after I found out the news of my Grandmothers death. I prayed to God about it and he gave me comfort.
