The Way Back

The Way Back from loss

A struggle each day

My heart torn in half

I wished he could stay
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Alas, not to be

His job was complete

Fulfilled, he must go

Ancestors to meet

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Way Back from grief

I stumble and fall

In potholes of pain

Picked up to stand tall

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

New chapters to write

And places to see

More people to help

Adventures for me

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The teacher is life

To live it, to learn

Move forward he says

My love’s at each turn

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Way Back takes time

To heal and move on

With wide open eyes

To see what’s beyond.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Excited and daunted

My soul will be fed

I know it’s the path

The Way Back I tread
