Loved ones are passing by Joanne Gill-Maddick
Sad Poems writing prompt entry


Sometimes I get so angry I don’t know what to do.  
Loved ones are dropping one by one. 

My heart is broken in two. 

I feel such a profound loss I pray the sadness will end. 

They are all close relatives it’s so hard to comprehend. 

I miss talking to them on the phone or a text to say hello. 

Things can never be the same again  this I surely know.

 I feel our lives have been stripped of joy it’s hard to put on a happy face. 

When so many of our loved ones are gone to  their final resting place. 

I have been grieving for the past few years

The grief comes in waves then I burst into tears.

 We have to trust in God and know his plan is for the best.

Though times like this our faith is surely put to the test. 

Only God above knows when our earthly time will end.

Untl then count your blessings and enjoy your family and friends. 

 


Writing Prompt
Sadness has overcome us all at one time or another. Either caused by a relative or close friend's death or from the girl or guy that broke our heart or just life in general. We all handle situations differently, some good, some bad. This contest gives us the ability to explore this. Your poem can also play into other emotions that are common to writing like this such as anger or depression.

Author Notes
Losing family is so difficult. Grief is different for everyone. Thereâ??s no amount of time that is too long or too short. Itâ??s individual. I pray hope and joy be restored to our family.
