Is it wiser to recall the treasures of life, especially a life well lived than endure the weight of grief that never seems to leave because of our insistence that it doesn’t Grief is not a bad thing as it gives us something to hold on to but then, the recollection of the joys of life which included the one we are grieving are too precious to just let go. They had their message, had we listened more carefully, and that was to give back to the world all that it has given to us. We cannot replicate another’s life It contained, without doubt sorrow, pain and frustration that was never shared, for it was personal and private The goodness and caring were routine and remembered. The laughter and joy coming from the least of things is a lesson not to be forgotten The stardust has been given back to the earth Has turned into dust glow And then as we ponder, realize That it has been given back again As we remember this life well lived Grieve we must but then remembering is a necessity if we are to make peace between the two and live the life of giving back Stanski February 9, 2020 ^
