Dearest Mother Elizabeth:

Yes, He certainly does know all of that pain... all the grief, and all of those that left Him in His darkest hour... even as He lived and learned the hard way, He came back with love, just like when He departed... your poem can show that we all need to do the very same thing, to learn from pain and grief and instead of exiting, we need to come back and revisit what we learned from that place where we felt so many feelings... I love the style of your poem and all of its message.. title .. all..

Hugs,

Hugs dear Elizabeth- very well put, until one loses someone close (myself, was my husband and my father) it is hard to comprehend the path of grief one walks alone inside.
Peace and Light, Sara
