When a loved one dies many a time we will say to the person grieving that the person they had lost would want them to be happy. Whilst this is very true i guess our loved ones would understand that we would be sad. Whilst thinking on this i wrote this poem.
I want you to be happy I hear you say
but what if it were to be the other way
what if i was looking down on you
wishing that you wouldn't be so blue
you are in no pain now you have left me
of grief and tears you have been set free
I bear the pain and saddness of your loss
these feelings i know are at a cost
but i wonder if it was the other way
would grief and saddness fill your day?
GRIEF IS SO PERSONAL...ONE CANNOT SAY HOW THEY WOULD REACT TO THE DEATH OF ANOTHER, THEY CAN ONLY SPECULATE AND WONDER...'IF'...
WELL DONE, BAZ...THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

...there are no rules to grieving.
Even though we know they are in a much better place, we still wish they could be here with skin on.
And yet, out of such devastating sadness we grow in many, many ways, God put him in your life for a reason, somewhen you'll discover the reason. And be able to help those who have similar pains of lose.
BTW, is the pic of Sheffield Park? It does look like a Capability Brown design.
