    "I'm Sorry For Your Loss"
    "I'm sorry for your loss", they say,
    "I know we'll miss your son."
    The throng's lined up in black, today,
    to soothe me, one-by-one.

    Last week I stood as one of them,
    while hugging Mrs. Lowe;
    "I'm sorry for your loss", I said,
    "They're empty words, I know."

    She looked at me with tear filled eyes,
    the way I'm crying, now;
    how swiftly Life, I realize,
    can push you off its brow.

    I cast a glance toward my young man
    who lies beneath a cross;
    words pierce me as they shake my hand:
    "I'm sorry for your loss."

    This is a beautiful poem. I lost my mother 7 months ago and can certainly relate to such feelings...

    I know it is painful to lose someone you love. I lost my mom. I especially really like the last verse which I find to be so true. I want you to be my friend and read my poems since I write the experiences of my life and to inspire others.

    Hi Clementine. I know that the loss of a loved one can be quite painful. It will take God and time to help in these type situations. I've lost my mother and father (which was very painful, but not a child; my oldest daughter has, which left her devastated). My prayers and heart goes out to your family and you. I would like to dedicate to you all, a poem that I have posted entitled, “Be Strong” and I hope that you can find a bit of comfort in reading it. Be forever blessed, Clementine Woods!!!

    Oh I have read a couple of your poems and they are real tear jerkers. I love your use of rhythm and the way you bring out truth in a direct manner that seems a bit subtle in it's delivery. very nice indeed
