Grief

I saw the tears roll off her cheek
As i cradled her in my arms
There are no words that i can speak 
That can stop this grief from causing harm

All i can do is hold her tight
And let her know that I'm always near
And pray God gives her the comfort needed
So she can get thru another year.

Grieving is hard on any caring heart
It drains the energy from your soul
And only the comfort from Gods Holy Spirit
Can bring the healing to make us whole.

So when a loved one is grieving loss
Just let them know you always there
To catch their tears and hold them
That's how you truly show you care.
