In Times of Deep Sorrow

In times of deep sorrow
every night, a winter
hope costs too much
every step, a marathon
joy flits away
every kindness, a lifeline
in times of deep sorrow.

  4. This is beautiful, Victoria. I wonder if when someone shows such acts of kindness, be it a word or deed, if they are aware of how much of a lifeline it truly is at these times. Lovely writing with so much sensitivity in so few words.
