Grief

Many feelings and lots of pain
come together with life’s stain.

Exactly what has brought such grief?
As we think, but only end up so brief.

Is it so hard to play in this world’s part?
Seeing so many grieve from their hearts.

Maybe if we didn’t feel or care or even share,
the weight of life wouldn’t be such a bear.

Only God knows the path to our redemption,
we just need to fight this world’s temptation,
and accept his offering of sweet salvation.

Death and life are born at the same time, as
present and past stand facing each other in a line.
Holding their life written on a sign.

Our connection to loved ones come and go.
With every breath and step we take, we
are reminded of his grace and mercy he shows.

All we have is what he knows we can handle.
In return we need to focus and just dial into his
channel.

Still our hearts grieve and weep in pain.
Yet through his word and prayer we see after
the rain.

For one day it will all come to an end,
and be judged on our belief. For that day
will be glorious and heavenly with no more grief.
