Lament of a Burdened Heart
The haunting coo of a mourning dove
Shrouded in a rainy haze
A burdened heart seems void of love
Recalling carefree days
The cup that is held is empty now
With no one to refill
The promise once kept, now disavowed
And blamed upon God’s will.
Looking out with hollow eyes
Behind them, an anguished mind
Calling out with silent cries
With no relief to find
The burdened heart has left its song
To the laments of the mourning dove
In hopes that angels come along
And carry it to the Lord above
