Gasping for air
Everything a tailspin
It happened so suddenly
You were taken from me
Life didn’t give me time to prepare
Life didn’t give me time
to say goodbye
To reminisce about what you meant to me
Like a ton of bricks
I hit the floor
Trying to pick up the pieces
Through my deepest agony
I never knew that pain could run so deep
Sobs coming from an unknown place
deep within
A place I never knew existed
Why oh why God?
Do I have to carry this burden?
This agony is tearing
my body to pieces
Darkness moved in
Dreadfulness now my shadow
Pulling me deeper and deeper
to a place of no return
A place I sometimes wish
I could stay
The moment you left me behind
To fend for myself
That moment I lost my desire
to live and to love
Sadness now my daily bread
Oh how I wish for a brief moment with you
I would hold on to you and never let go
Tell you how greatly you were loved
The prints that you left
Will soon fade away
but the prints on my heart
Are carved in stone
Life will never be
as I knew it
In my darkest hour
I was reminded of Jesus’s darkest hour
When the One who never sinned died for me
The unfathomable pain
my Papa had to go through…
Only because of His great
love for me and you
He can relate to my agony and pain
He walked the parth
I chose to forego
He drank the bitter cup
I prefer to push away
Walking through the valley
of the shadow of death
Alone and away from His presence
With many questions on our lips
Only our pain to keep us company
One day we will understand, why!
Different seasons
A time to every purpose
under the heaven
Now a time to weep
Soon we will laugh again
Peace that surpasses all understanding
will be our portion
Papa will love us back to life
Back to His heart.
