Grief Poem Jan. 6, 2016

‘NOW’ — IS All WE HAVE!!

It’s NEW YEARS week — though death stepped in, but life is always NOW!

Our loved one’s gone, not out of mind, we’ll manage life — somehow!

We need support, encouragement; each grieving household does!

Avoid us NOT; we’re grieving, folks! We need your love, just ‘cause!

We thank You, Lord, this brand New Year for folks who loved us so;

Extra blessings You’ve sent us Lord, that eased our souls, we know!!

We move through grief, despite the pain, we only have THIS day!

We read God’s word He says, “Don’t let … .” [1] For healing, yes, we pray!

Don’t let this throw you, trust in God, tell Him, on bended knee.

When not afraid, we’re LOVE itself! And Lord, You care for me!

Live in the ‘NOW’ — death’s not the end, that’s when a new life starts,

Difficult times?  Laugh, rest, go slow; it’s good for all our hearts.

It’s a New Year and angels sing, love is precious — hold on!

Hug one you love, listen and sing, after darkness, comes dawn.

Plus someday soon we’ll be rejoined; no longer we’ll be blue!

We’ve only ‘NOW’; God works His plan, His word is always true.

‘Nothing is worth more than THIS day!’ That’s what my Love would say.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Have fun each day. Love is a verb - obey!
