GRIEF IS AN ANCHOR by Becky Hemsley

"GRIEF IS AN ANCHOR"
by Becky Hemsley

I know your grief’s an anchor

And I know it weighs you down

It wants to pull you under

And you’re scared you’re going to drown

The waves are fierce and angry

As they fight against the land

And so you keep on clinging

To the only thing you can

Yes, I know you’re afraid

That if the anchor’s chain is broken,

You’ll lose your only way to stay

Connected to the ocean

But trust me when I say

This sea is deeper than you know

And it will never let you sink

Into the dark below

See, though I know it feels like grief

Is all that has remained

As if the last thing linking us

Is woven in its chains

I promise there is so much more

Beyond this ache that’s left

So fight the urge to let it take

You down into the depths

And don’t be scared to loosen

All your ties to grief because

It’s your heart that keeps you anchored

To the ocean of my love

******

Sometimes it can feel like grief is the only thing we have left that connects us to our loved ones. So if someone you know is clinging to grief, be patient and be kind. Especially if that someone is yourself.
