Some days its hard,
just getting out of bed
my heart seems as if . . .
it were full of lead.
Pain and heartache,
has it weighed down
as does the heaviness
of wearing sorrows frown.
But, today will be,
a day I will rise . . .
without one tear
welling in my eyes.
Instead I will leap,
right out of this bed
and on Jesus my grief
I am going to shed.
Some days its hard,
to find joy in the morning
especially when your heart
is in a state of mourning!
~~~~~~
“For his anger endureth but a moment;
in his favour is life: weeping may endure
for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

Ah, thank you for your encouraging comment. Yes, God gave me this gift and when my son died i wasn’t sure if I would continue writing but, on the third night after he died God showered on me His mercy and grace in a way never before and I wrote a poem about the peace I had while going through the initial processing of grieving. I am so thankful that His Spirit is with me and walks me through the valley that seems to have no end until I get HOME! ~` Have a Blessed day wit Jesus ~
