Woke up to an ache in my heart
An old friend lost her granddaughter
Weepy all day
feeling grief for my friend
Have you noticed
When you open your heart to grief
All the sorrow of the world
Comes squeezing in?
And the world is full
And the earth groans
Loss and love are holding hands
The loss of a precious one
Is too vast for one person to hold
Maybe when we grieve with others
We help carry that heavy load

The mysteries
Of all we do not know
They are more than
The riches some heap
While others go without
They are more than
The wars against body and soul
The what ifs and the whys
The pit of sorrows we fall into
The crushing weight of grief
The mysteries
Of all we do not know
The greatest is love
That holds us when all is gone
That leads us to treasure
At the end of a dark tunnel
It runs through us and to us
Lifting us and helping us
To breathe and to live
And one day hope again
