Loss

Tealight candles
Tealight candles

I now know
That loss is inevitable
It’s part of the life cycle
Of letting things go

I now know
That friends don’t last forever
They follow their own path
Where they need to go

I now know
Blessings come with loss
It creates space
For new things to grow

I now know
I am not defined by loss
Or by others leaving
It’s only me that I can know

I now know
Our body changes with time
And a grieving process
We need to go through

I now know
This is natures design
Nothing is permanent
We all have to flow

I now know
Loss is not the enemy
The grief of our loss
Is something we all know

I now know
Loss is part of me
But once I’ve processed it
I need to let go

I now know.
