I am posting this poem again from a few years ago. A reminder that no matter how dark it is or how much faith I have or don’t have, light will break through and love will win.
All we have are words
And the grief that overwhelms us
Hope is gone
We saw with our own eyes
Our grief tells us
He is dead
Yet
We have words
We will wait
With our grief by the tomb

Maybe not everyone
Finds the miracle they are looking for
You are still limping in pain
and I am gasping for air
Maybe there are other miracles we are finding
Still being loved by family
With all our brokenness and faults
These babies born to our children
Smiling and clinging onto our fingers
With the message:
“I need you to be strong and light the way”
The friendships that have endured
Despite separations and years of silence
Still hearing the Voice of the Beloved asking:
Do you trust me?
