Surpassing Understanding
When someone difficult dies,
How do you say goodbye?
I remember only lies,
My eyes remain dry.
What do I mourn,
What was or should’ve been?
Get beyond the scorn,
Rid myself of sin?
I need an answer
Much more bigger than me;
Hate spreads like cancer,
Love sets us free.
Each day we wrestle
Will never end all strife,
We’re just the vessel;
Love gives us life.
