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.
