My Lament On My Mother's Funeral

Hear me all ye that see
Hear my plea and from me, do not flee.
Calamity has struck and now, i am stuck.
I feel like dying to end all this crying
But i am trying to be fine because i know that one day, we all have to die.
So i will not cry
But i will look up high to the sky and try to ask why.
Why death of all life on earth, took breath from my mother.
Now i have no other.
I am filled with strife and every time i look at a knife,
I feel like taking my life.
Indeed, losing a loved one is hard.
It makes you sad and feel very bad.
No wonder other's go mad and are never glad.
I feel the pain but then, "god gives.... God takes away.....rejoice always"
So should i rejoice now that she is gone or should i cry?

You're very welcome..And it is simply how I look at things. Certainly doesn't mean it's right. God bless.

It is necessary to be sad, for God did not give us sadness or tears to never be used. There is an emptiness in this life where she used to stand, and you will forever feel this. And yet, God gave us happiness, so we should rejoice that we will see them again one day. Rejoice for all the wonderful things she gave, love ,learning and kindness...but rejoice most of all, because she would want you to. I am so sorry for your loss. God bless.
