Our hearts collapse, discarded
bereft and wilting
In only sad goodbyes
Beating at the door, to steal
the gifts
Each moment locked in time
Day after day drifts by, chilled
Without meaning, numb
seered with a raw unknown
Gasping to draw a breath,
somehow
A warmth to know
Dear Father, please,
with tenderness
Lift us from the crushing sorrow
within the teardrops,
left behind
Give us faith, disclose the
mystery
To know a love that is divine
Restore the hope, unfold the
more
to understand that e'en before we cried,
You bore our fall
