A Journey in Grief

God had a plan for me,
a journey into grief
so that I would find
prayer truly brings relief.

He put me on a path,
of death and sorrow
to learn to trust Him
with all my tomorrows.

The agony that I felt,
the anguish deep inside
was a steady reminder
He's always at my side.

The throb in my heart,
the hole within my soul
made me realize . . .
He's in complete control.

The road has been long,
the ache is still there
but now I give to Him
my every single care.

Where there was a void,
God's filled it with peace
though I doubt the pain
will every really cease.

I have been blessed,
in my suffering . . .
just knowing my tears
God is numbering!
