Grief, I Know

I know grief As a soul knows a thief, It is known in my writing And I feel it from my reciting. It was with me every day Constantly to the Lord I did pray, It followed me around As if we both as one were bound. I want to feel that grief no more So, I led it out the door, I want it no more in my life Either as a girlfriend, or as a wife. I replaced my grief with peace Now I know my serenity will not cease, I never replaced it with another woman Because, It's really over and I couldn't. Randy L. McClave
