Have you made a deal with God? Loss can make us do crazy things. However you choose to grieve, I hope you find peace and healing.

Deal with God
By Michelle Morris
03/03/2024

When Death has come
And taken their love away
You make a deal with God
You hope and you pray

You get down on your knees
You sob and you scream
You wail at this life
Feeling so bitter and empty 

It leaves you spinning
Off your own axis
It leaves you wishing
It was you in that casket

Because being the one
To survive and live on
Is a curse and a blessing
You can't fathom alone

Swimming in a million tears 
Drowning in the abyss of grief
No more memories to make
No more dreams we can weave

Left with this aching
A longing so deep
Nothing can heal it
Our battered soul reeling

And that deal with God
Gets revisited every day
Desperation and sleeplessness
Causing nightmares and frailty

Hanging on by a thread
Fingernails on a chalkboard 
Only time can heal wounds
As God helps us move forward 

And lo and behold, we find
God's mercy and grace work
The magic and miracles
Help us work through the hurt

Time and space and love
Hope and faith and light
Miracles and magic and prayer 
God's Angels that hold us tight

Then one day it happens
The heartbreak is no longer unbearable
We can feel without razor blades
And our lives can begin again 

Death no longer the enemy
Hearts no longer shattered pieces 
Wishes and dreams renewed
Souls know they can still believe
