Grief changes from day to day
If you asked me how I was doing
I’ll tell you what I would say
Grief is really messy
And it changes from day to day
Some days I am wearing a coat with many pockets
Each one is filled with mud
And sometimes it feels like I am drowning
In a pouring rain-caused flood
Some days I feel all tangled up
Unable to break free
It feels like my sadness
Is suffocating me
Some days I do see sunshine
Amidst the pouring rain
And it has this gentle loving way
Of softening my pain
Those days are few and far between
They might never happen again
So I take each good day, one at a time
And truly savor them
If you ask me how I am doing
I’ll tell you what I’d say
I am doing the very best I can
With all the changes grief brings my way
