Weeping Mothers

Weeping mothers
weeping for your sons and daughters
tears of sorrow
tears of pain
Death has stolen your beloved child.

Oh weeping mothers, be of good cheer
your sorrows, pain, and grief are heard loud and clear
take comfort
His hand envelopes you
His comfort encompasses you
Oh, weeping mothers.

Losing a child is one of the most painful experiences and one in which only God can comfort the bereaved! Excellent write, Karen! A-7! Hugs. Pandita
