Can we give ourselves permission to be sad, to rest
in the notes of grief and not feel less than whole because
the word happy does not fall from our lips
can we learn to accept ourselves in all states of being
and honor the tears that slip from our eyes
when sadness appears with no announcement can
we welcome it to sit with us and share its thoughts
can we embrace ourselves with all our imperfections
and dance with arms outstretched holding no partner
knowing that the invisible link with God is there
every step of the way holding us and accepting us
with all His unconditional love
"Sadness" - written by Diane Kirkup 3/6/21
