looking for a verse - Grief

Bojalu

master brummie
I am unable to find a verse opening line-
Isnt grief suppose to wane.

I feel sure the verse was on this site.

I have put in search box and scanned through poems section .
Have I missed it or has it been deleted ?

Hello Bo, is this the poem.

Isn't grief meant to wane?
And passage of time should ease the pain,
So great loss pales, to sentimental chat,
Romantized recollections, far removed from fact.


Should I stick to the rules, and think of you less?
Abandon all sorrow, would that be best?
Allow daily trivia to tap all my tears,
Till all memory of you, slips away with the years.


Or may I travel my own road of mourning?
And welcome you warmly, with each new day's dawning.
Gladly speak your name, and cry if I wish,
For, weren't you a man, who deserved to be missed?

I knew Ann when she was a member of this forum, visited her house once to give her a couple of paintings but never knew she wrote poetry. Quite a talent, an actress and a poet. Eric

I hope no one was thinking I had written the poem about grief, I only located it for Bo.

No Trebor I remembered it as it touched me so much at the time then I remembered where I had read it. Take care. Jean.
 
Thank you for message Jean
