My Heart is still a grieving space

Inspired by a moving life story of someone who lost a loved one recently. 

My Heart is still a grieving space 
By Michelle Morris 
07/01/2025

Your passing was expected 
The timing understood 
But still it's been immensely difficult 
To accept this is closure for our Souls 

My Heart is still a grieving space 
It's no longer a part of me
I'm trying to distance these feelings 
Too overwhelming, stealing Peace 

And in these lonely moments 
Walking around your empty home
I'm reminded of my childhood 
Memories of Love and Hope

Now it's just that building 
Where you took your very last breath
And even though it was peaceful 
I wish I could have delayed old Death

But He is quite persistent 
And He always gets his way 
Taking our loved ones from us
To Heaven where they'll stay 

Our Faith remains in the Angels unseen
In God's Plan and Graceful Mercies 
Where we'll meet our loved ones once again 
One day when it's our turn
