Grief - it is true and it is real
It doesn't lie, but it sure can steal
It can take your hope, your love and your will
It can strip you of the ability to feel
It may not lie, but can lay heavy on your soul
A crushing weight that can make a hole
The hole can be deep and spread for miles wide
Even your family and friends can get trapped inside
All of this can happen, but don't allow it to remain
You have to find your light that outshines the pain
Look to Him and use His strength if you have none
Keep your eyes on Him and feel the warmth of His Son
You are braver than you feel and stronger than you know
Don't forget the one you lost, but let the loss of them go
Hang on tight to your rope of hope and tie a knot at the end
You may slip and it may burn, but remember this my friend
Love is not what let you down, but instead lifted you up
You wouldn't feel so empty now if they hadn't filled your cup
Cherish their gift and the blessings they bestowed
For the love they gave you is so much more than some will ever know.
