May my poems of loss
Be filled with Compassion,
Bring to your heart
Peace in some fashion.
Your loss is great,
It can't be denied,
But life unfolds
On a path less wide.
Never the same
With your loved one gone.
The pain must be faced,
The work of grieving done.
But a life can be made
Again, though a price is paid
Of a vacant chair
And an empty bed.
Keep the memories strong,
As you journey along.
You, too can help those
Struggling through woes.
Be at peace
As life onward flows.

This is a narrative poem that is about a person wishing the best for a friend or acquaintance who is suffering through difficult times.
I chose this poem because I feel as if it is a satisfying end to this anthology. It wishes the best for people, and tries to tell people that life goes on, and that there is no use to dwell on what happened, and to continue with your life.
The entire poem is just how the narrator wants you to understand that even if your 'loss is great', you need to 'be at peace as life onward flows'.
The figurative elements are - Oxymoron (Lines 1 & 2)
