The Exchange

I lost a friend last week. Her smile once lit our high school world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Exchange

 

 “Grief is the price of love,” I was told

 

In loving, a piece of you is gone, is sold,

 

It is a price worth paying; it is not for naught,

 

Through grief’s deep wounds, a lesson taught.

Beautiful and profound expression in poetic grand. "The Exchange" has the aroma of fraternity... It is a flower with petals of love.

In admiration,

This is a fitting tribute, expressing grief for the loss of your friend and acknowledging the debt of gratitude and friendship you shared with this individual throughout your lives.

My condolences for your loss and thank you, Eileen, for sharing this poem.
