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.
