The Struggle
Finding peace was difficult after you left me
I was torn between giving up and giving in
Loosing it all together and saying goodbye to the heartache
Flitted on and off, in and out
I searched for comfort and there was none anywhere
No one wanted to add on to their worries
The void had already been created
The struggles were real
With all lifes challenges being thrown at me
The passing of a pearl, so pure and smooth
Your voice, your love and care came to a stop
Deaths hands knew no boundaries
It took away the comfort once used to
I could not find anywhere to turn
A release from bondage, a hole I dug for myself
aspects of my life that didn't work out
some which I got out of
Even that release meant I had to keep afloat or drown
The emptiness of love lost
That has been beyond my reach
And in it all, I felt lost and alone
There was help out there, I knew
I could find peace once again, I heard
There was hope to live again, I sensed
I needed to dig deep to spring up, I touched
Blessing could be counted, I tasted
each day brought some joy, I smelled
nature springing up anew, I saw
Gods wonder around me each day, I hear
the wind calling me and I know I will be okay.
