SADNESS
I am sad because my sister-in-law is terminally ill
I am sad because my son has stage IV cancer
I am sad because my two brothers are gravely ill
I am sad because my wife is in a vegetated state.
I am awash in sadness because I love.
I know sadness is the price you pay for love
and it is better to feel sad than not.
