Love Or Death

I knew he would not leave us by his choice God had struck us with a mighty sword No longer would I hear my father’s voice Neither would I listen to the Lord Why God so strong should hurt those who were left Who prayed to him with love in depths of heart I went inside a church in angry grief I called, I hate you, God, so we must part Later on another grief much worse Laid me out for death without rebirth But here came someone kind to raise this curse Despite my hatred, I was of some worth In pain we stagger to a place unknown Then wait for love or death to heal our bones

Hello Katherine Braithwaite, It was hard for me when my husband died. I cried to point when i thought my body would break,it would shake so hard, i could not stop shaking. In time i healed with a poem on poetry soup. It made me stronger when i read the poem. Have a nice day my friend.
