Overcome Grief

This is what i believe;
it is normal to grieve
when someone you love has died
and your loss can’t be denied.
     But, while you are in morning
     someone, somewhere, is aborning.
     Therefore you must realize
     love for the living applies.
Someone still depends on you;
learn to love the living too.
After all, the past is dead.
Now it’s time to look ahead.
     You may have fond memories,
     but live in the present–please.
