Grief makes me

Grief makes me greedy

Hungry for times spent smiling and laughing until my cheeks hurt

Grief makes me sick

Leaving a pit in my stomach and hole in my chest

Grief makes me dreamy

Seeing people and places almost forgotten

Grief makes me hopeful

Filled with longing for heavenly reunitings

Grief makes me wonder

About loved ones I take for granted

Grief makes me stronger

Fierce in my love for family and friends
