Sorroe


O sorrow, you can bring such great
grief to harden and break our hearts.
Are not our roads difficult enough
without you darkening our life paths?
You work so long and so very hard to
bring sadness and grief to every step we take.
However, with the comfort that comes 
from the help and tenderness
from loving family and friends, you 
crumble under the weight of joy and peace.
And with the promise of the eternal presence 
of our Gracious God. . . Love.

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
