Excerpt from "Hope"
~How can one continue a regular existence when existence has lost its life
Only God knows
And yet
We do
We continue
We are
We exist
Carrying on, trying to fill the hole, looking to God for mercy and strength
Trying not feel
Never daring to hope to heal
As the world spins around us
A mockery of what it was
Bland and colorless
Threatening to leave us behind
If we cannot keep up
The world never understands
We can only trust
And blindly follow
When following is hardest
Accepting His will
When we don’t understand
Obeying His law
When it makes no sense
Believing His word
When it isn’t what we want to hear
And try to rest in His assurance
When rest is the hardest
Following in the dark
Searching for the light
And committing ourselves to His everlasting care~
Daring once again to exist, to breathe, to live
And once again finding strength in His arms
