Your Grieving Heart

When you first meet your grief
Do not expect to feel any relief,
It is a wild animal that devours
Your heart and soul for endless hours.

Do not attempt to stay the beast,
But let it enjoy it's evil feast,
While you feel it's teeth that tear
At your heart for the love you bear.

Never give in to the urge to die,
To hurt the one for whom you cry,
For death does not stop its bite,
It has no thoughts of wrong or right.

Don't try to evade or keep it inside,
Scream,shout,but you can not hide,
But talk to Jesus,he's by your side;
Let Him hold you as you confide.

For reasons mortals can not know,
A loved one sometimes must go,
While we spend our time below
Learning to reap just what we sow.

But eternity awaits with endless love,
When your number is called above,
So know our time is a flash in a fire,
But belief in his word fills every desire.
