Those Who Grieve

December 24, 2023

It’s early morning Christmas Eve,
I lift a prayer for those who grieve.
I pray God’s everlasting love
Pours over them from up above.

As we remember Christmas Day,
God sent his gift of love our way.
We shed our tears, our cheeks are moist,
Yet lift our songs of praise, rejoice.

We miss the ones we loved who’ve passed,
But know they’re with the Lord at last.
God’s love and peace is all around,
Their joy is real and has no bounds.

I pray God’s love begins to heal
The hurt, the sadness some may feel.

    Thanks for putting into words/rhyme the feelings that those of us who have recently experienced loss know only too well. It is said that time heals…yet that length of time is the variable that makes the experience unique for each one who mourns.

    I heard that you had the opportunity to come to DaySpring to share rhymes with residents here…I hope you can come again when I will be here to benefit from the messages you share.

    Sent in His love, Donna Kersey
