Waves Poem by Donna Leftwich

It hits you like a wave
that crashes to the shore.

Sometimes like curls of memories
you didn't have before.

And then the big one comes
that knocks you off your feet.

The loss you feel, the pain so real,
it sweeps you out too deep.

Out comes the Sun, to calm the waves
it's like a friendly hand.

It reaches out to your abyss
and guides you to the land.

Days will come and days will pass
when you feel you've had enough.

But when you think you can't endure
or the pain is just too rough

Remember the Sun, way up high, will be your guiding light.
So take the hand, and call a friend,
It's worth it to stay in the fight.
