Ralph's Poem

MOM is the chocolate sprinkles on the cake,
She's the healer of the sick
She's the lentil of the soup
And she is the lioness protecting her cubs.

Dad is the pilot of the plane.
He is the work in the computer
He's a gamer in the game galaxy
And he is a frying pan cooking pancake.

My brother Foncy, is the roar of a lion
He is the rampaging T rex
He's the heat of the oven
And he's the sun of midday.

My dog coco, is the snow in winter
He's a bone chuckler
He's the Knight from the round table
And he is a brother chaser.

And that leaves me and I'm not telling!!

Grief Stricken

Let me celebrate my grief
Let me feel the loss
Let me bear the pain
Don’t ask me to let go

Lump forms in the throat
Abnormal breathing, almost fainting
My hands ache, my heart tearing
Let me celebrate my grief

Staring into space
Where am I now and where do I go
No answers come, I don’t know
Let me celebrate my grief

Tears please come
Let it pour
Empty my heart til there’s no more
Let me celebrate my grief

Knife in my heart
Broken spirit
Anguished soul
Let me celebrate my grief

There is no cure
It will never fade
I have no more
Just grief.
