Loss and Suffering
.
We can suffer immense anguish and grief,
And sometimes it seems there is little relief
.
All of us go through terrible sorrow and pain,
And, afterwards, we hope to meet once again
.
For, up high above, Heaven waits for us all;
Those Gates will be open, when there we do call
.
God can forgive us, whatever we have done;
He knows we’re imperfect, each and every one
.
Somehow it seems worse for those left behind,
As extra pain is added to the hard daily grind
.
We’re in emotional pain, we miss them so much;
The fingers of anguish at our hearts seem to clutch
.
We’re sorry you’re gone, we’re unhappy you died,
And it hurts, so badly, the pain deep inside
.
One day our pain will lessen, even if just a bit,
No longer will our hearts feel about to be split
.
We must suffer our losses, as part of Life’s tune;
Nonetheless, I hope that the pain will end soon.
