Mystic Rose Rose Poet Rhyme

A Time For Grief

Since that fatal day began we were forced inside  
and when churches closed all Gods people cried 
yes we forgot how to pray, with voice and platitude 
we opted for the lazy ways of lethargic lassitude 

Time isn't promised as we wait on bended knee 
and even though we know that Faith in God is key, 
we choose to bathe our faces with tears of disbelief 
for we have lost loved ones and are filled, with grief.
