Embrace that Feeling

Stop watching the clock

minutes on a dial won't sooth away

moments that were never meant to be

let the tears fall

blink

release those watery declaration,

blink

let them go

streaming down your cheeks

hot and scalding

cutting through your soul

let your heart shatter

into a million pieces

feel the kick in the gut

the knife in your back

feel the betrayal of abandonment

yes, they are gone

breath

love them anyways

You can be angry

that you were cheated

that life cheated you

so be angry

with the one you lost

for leaving

for dying,

even if it wasn't their fault

be angry

be angry with God

that time was up

and you weren't ready for that life to be over

be angry with God

He has big shoulders

He can take your fury

let Him hold you

be grateful

that you loved

be honored that

you had the chance to love

so deeply

that your heart would shatter

into a million pieces

that hot tears slid down your face

that you had tears enough

to cry a river

to fill an ocean

if your grief was so big

what was it like to love

so grand

you are so blessed

to have held something so priceless

in your arms

that time

could not heal

or even ease your agony

nor can it take away

the memory

of the love

that took your

hand and made you feel

exquisite grace

Be thankful to God

that your arms held

that precious soul

that now peacefully sleeps

in your Fathers arms.
