Greatness Through Grief

Greatness Through Grief

I never experienced this much pain
How do you gain 
The composure of emotions 
Mentally, you are in another zone 
Emotionally, I want to be left alone 
Physically, you feel something gone 
So how do you come back 
How do you get your life back on track 
Time heals 
That's what has been said 
Some days, you will dread 
Somwdays your head may be down 
Lift it up 
Put on your crown 
Everything happened  so fast
We had just talked 
We checked on each other 
Nothing like your MOTHER 
A mother's love is different 
Caring and attentive 
So where do you go
Where do you start 
When you left this world 
So did my heart 
But I know you would want to see 
Me be the best version of me 
I will make you proud 
I know you are looking down 
It feels different 
With you not around 
I feel the void 
It's took a toll 
I know you will give us peace 
You are at home 
With the Lord 
Take your rest 
We love you 
God loves you best 
So, how do you deal with this trauma 
How you live without your momma 
You keep God first 
Keep praying 
Keep pushing 
Remember, they both are looking 
They see your tears 
They will wipe them away 
They want you to be great 
The Lord will give you strength 
To get through this 
Trust in him. Lean not 
On your own thoughts 
This, by far, is the hardest thing we've had to do 
Is live in this world without you
I promise to be great 
I know he didn't make a mistake 
You needed us , we needed you 
I see what grief can do 
But we will keep pushing 
Definitely keep going 
Keep your legacy alive 
Just Thrive 
This has been tough and overbearing 
We love you, momma Karen
We will never stop
Always in our hearts ?? 
Even though right now ours feel broken 
Thanks for giving us the token
The token to be your daughters 
Through troubled Waters 
We overcame 
Living without you will never be the same.
We love you
Before and after 
We will miss your smile , our conversations, your laughter, 
It's been three weeks almost 
That you took your last breath 
Whew death 
Hits you 
But you would want us to get back up and take it 
We promise to turn this grief into greatness 
It's ok, we will have our days 
The only option we have is to cry out and pray 
I know this is long 
This is how I feel 
Sheesh 
Grief ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
