How Death Affects Us

When a death comes, it fills us with overwhelming sorrow The total loss of that loved one is a horror You lose your future of tomorrows Without that love ones guidance to borrow At first, we deny the event making us so sad It is the most unreal dream we have ever had If I deny it, am I bad? I just want the love, I once had. A void forms within us that will kill And love from the family does not fill It does not seem real But with time we begin to feel With time we will heal Seeking God's guidance to feel A wholeness and again we are able to deal With life and in prayer as I humbly kneel Asking that this pain be removed from me Let me once again be me But that is for God to see What he has planned for me.
