THERE IS A SADNESS/I CANNOT WISH AWAY

There is a sadness
I cannot wish away
It is the sadness of my soul.

It is the grief
At those loved lost
It is the sadness for all those no longer here
Who have meant so much to me.

This sadness will go away
Only when I go away
I will take it with me
To the grave.

Shalom Freedman
