Sorrow

Nothing hurts a parent as much as the sorrow of a child.
Each cry brings heart stopping anguish.

An urge to replace hurt with comfort and warmth
And put joy, happiness and love in its place

Creates the feeling of helplessness.

The loss of a friend is a sad occasion
the loss of a trusted collegue

In a field where trust is earned grudgingly
makes the loss more poignant


And deepens the sorrow.

I feel your pain.
