What About Me

I heard ‘sorry for your loss” I replied’ thank you for your condolence” Is my life also over? It is for the departed Is life now worth living? I am so broken hearted. No words to hear Or touches to feel Life is a burden It’s so unreal. A mask I must wear To hide my sullen face With open arms I reach out But feel no warm embrace. No spirit left, that died too On that very same day, I must go on living Life is here to stay Can my devastation be uplifted? How do I do that all alone? I never thought about this before For me this was something unknown. Life is still within me My love has lost that gift, Life handed me a lemon Do you catch my drift? What will I feel in time to come? Are there answers outside my window? Who will guide me thru this deprivation? I don’t want to be a widow. Where is the hope that I should hold? Is there light that I cannot foresee? I am despondent I cannot wait How much time will there need be? I must keep my head above water It’s the only way to survive I need to stand tall and not falter I will listen closely and honestly strive. Please don’t leave me in such despair Grant me courage and fortitude, Call upon me with divine words Present me refinement for this mood. A purpose in life was granted Created and blessed by God as a gift Times will be difficult in my search How do I find meaning and a lift. Days will feel like nights Darkness surrounds me every hour, I must change my outlook on life Please Lord, grant me that special power. I have a need to find comfort This is a first step I must take, I could lie here in misery and feel sad She would say ‘go on living for your sake”. In Genesis, we find the beginning of creation A special meaning and purpose in life, Spirituality and faith is necessary To overcome adversities and exceed in strife Thank you Lord for listening and caring Shedding light to show the way Answering my prayer to fulfillment I will follow you each day.
