The record turns and wobbles
Scratched screams and sobs echo from the vinyl
But before it goes on to long
Let me set the record straight
There is no anger against you
You were a fighter, a champion
And even though we lost you
You did not lose
There is no anger against God
Who said no to a miracle,
But said yes to ending
Your pain.
There is anger against the Devil
Anger against sin, anger against
The sickness, the cancer that
ravaged you body.
There is anger when I think
Of what you will miss
But there is no anger
Against you.
There could never be anger
Against you.
In honor of my Papa who passed away last year, January 14th, I will be re-posting my grief poems in the hopes that those who read these poems know that they are not alone and that our loved ones are not forgotten.

I am so sorry for your loss! My Papa died last year and the pain is still present, but (hopefully I can encourage you), it is a little better every day.

Grief is an emotion, we handle in our way and in our own time….. Your poem touched me deadly Kayla, a glorious piece of honest feelings, that I could truly associate with…….. as time goes on we learnt to cope better with our eternal grief….. Hugs dear ….

Thank you Ivor for your hugs, your friendship, and your support. Grief is one of those emotions (like love) that transcends race, gender, origin, age, etc. It’s something we all must face.
