Grief

 Grief.

It pushes you around,

Knocks you to the ground,

And kicks you in the teeth.

Grief. 

It takes you by surprise,

As the tears flood your eyes

Til you can no longer see.

Grief.

It breaks you apart, 

Crushes your heart.

Your life becomes the tragedy.

Grief.

Unable to breathe,

Unable to  speak. 

Unable to hear your own self think.

Grief. 

Unbearable, unfathomable.

Totally unimaginable

Until it's unstoppable.

Grief. 

Bending and breaking you,

Effectively shaking you.

Aching, you beg for a breakthrough...

Grief.

A breath, a sigh.

A tear wiped from your eye.

By a savior who knows..

Grief.

The healing begins.

The feeling returns.

But deep within your heart still yearns.

Grief.

Blame steps in, 

Then shame and anger, too.

Our Savior whispers, I've got you.

Grief.

You breathe deep, 

Knowing it's true..

Even in this, He's got you.

 













The Glory

 I sit in pain

And pray and pray

For God to take

It all away.

But He says no,

It's not time.

That's your plan,

It's not Mine.

You must wait,

And trust My way,

Heed My call

And just obey.

My Love is true

And lightweight, too.

It's always here,

Waiting for you

To turn to Me

So that you see

The Glory

That it's meant to be.
