Love came first

LOVE CAME FIRST

by Donna Ashworth

You don't move on after loss, but you must move with. 

You must shake hands with grief, welcome her in, for she

lives with you now. Pull her a chair at the table and offer

her comfort. She is not the monster, you first thought her

to be. She is love. And she will walk with you now, stay

with you now, peacefully. If you let her. And on the days

when your anger is high, remember why she came, 

remember who she represents. Remember. Grief came to

you my friend because love came first. Love came first.
