Grief

ON 27 Dec 1995 I met with an accident,
For which my parents were full of sorrow.
Which no one could lend or borrow:
But everyone was amazed and grief stricken
Shocked and were badly shaken,
On the same day I had a great brain operation!
For the same reason everyone was in a great tension!
Then I started recovering slowly
And everyone's face started glowing.
So we should believe and be greatly thankful
to my life's saviour,
And to those who helped us by their
kind and helpful labour.
So luck is very unpredictable,
Depend on the 'Saviour' who is highly reliable.
Believe 'Him' by whose grace works
Miracles in the universe
From the functioning of an infinitesimal insect
To the ginormous world
Sorrow, grief, misery, agony are all types of pain!
By which out of these you never have any gain!
But only pain and pain!
Which creates a lot of grief and tension.

Thank God for your strength and for your recovery!! What an amazing person you must be to see things from such a positive point of view. My young son-in-law had a brain tumor shortly after he married my daughter, and we went through everything you described in this poem. He too, was amazing, strong, and recovered, and taught us so much with his positive spirit. He's doing fine now...we are so grateful. Bless you and keep healthy! ....Carrie
