Picture of grief

What would you class as a picture of grief??
How would you describe life's thief?
A grandfather overcome with sorrow?
Seeing no happiness for the morrow?
Prostrate over his grand daughter's tiny body
Shoulders slumped in defeat: a grief study!
Parents crying at the roadside cross
Desperately sad for their tragic loss!
A mother burying her tiny little child
Never having had the chance to grow wild
Silent tears upon a husband's or father's cheek
Lost without the comfort that they seek
A wife withdrawn inside her self
No more tears to shed: bereft!
What picture shows the world of pain?
Knowing you'll never hold them again?
Lord I feel like each and every one
Like there will be no morning sun
I feel so saddened: overcome!
So flattened by this grief from which I try to run
Will I ever get to feel alive again?
Will there ever be happiness and fun?
Life seems to drag along each day
Leaving my heart still broken: on display!
