Feeling Blue

Author: Abby1963

Today I feel no joy
Nothing but a void
Where has she gone
I feel like this has been going on to long
My head hurts
My soul cries
I feel like I’ve died
I’ve cried and cried
My eyes are dry
when I close my eyes tight
I can see a light
I know I can’t walk towards that light
No,not tonight
I have to fight with all my might
I just want to sleep tonight
I’m so tired
My mind goes round and round
I feel like a clown
God
Please don’t let me drown

Me too Laura. Holidays are very hard without Mom. However, I do not wish here back suffering as she was. She and your husband are basking in the Lord's light and so very happy. They will be waiting for us when it is our time. However, God is not done with us down here yet. He has much for us to do and one of your most important rolls is going to be "Grandma"!! I will never know that roll in this life.

hi Abby ; just a not e to let you know
that the bible says tht crying will only
last for a short time ,
Then the lifter of our heads will
then bring his loving hand
down to your face to give
his Comfort and assurance .
God bless

Laura ~ So beautifully written.

YOU WILL NOT DROWN ~ as the good things in your life will forever act as a float to enable your head to stay above the water.

As do you ~ most of us have much sadness and grief in our lives ~ but for the fortunate ones (us) ~ we also have enough joy to prevent us from even thinking 'the unmentionable'.

Stay strong ~ Mady

I've yet to lose someone that I miss as much as your poem states. Though I am grateful for my mom and dad still being around, they are too busy for me as my nephew has them wrapped around his jobless finger.

Stay strong Laura, you have been through it all.

The was my first reading of one of your poems. You've chosen a tough subject to write about. I admire your effort. There are not many words that can adequately describe how much we miss somebody we used to share so many good times with in life. I like to remember people for the joy they gave me and others in the time we had together. Just as I can't live in the past I can't live in the future, either. That's why I make every day as special as I can make it and encourage others to do the same thing. There's great peace that come with being mindful of those things we still cherish in life. Thanks for sharing your true feelings.

the sadness and loneliness in your poem Abby, brought tears to my eyes.

When loved ones aren't around making our Christmas for us, I think the only thing left for us to do is considerate on making it a good one for our living loved ones... they will cherish us for it just as we do whom ever that once made ours for us...

Cheerful Christmas masks are the hardest to wear ....
one day at a time

Hi Laura, I have seen how strong and resilient you have been in the past. The dark moments might feel endless right now but like the night...it will give in to daylight. You have all the strength you need in you tomturn the tide my friend. I'll keep you in my prayers. Try changing the colour of the lenses of the glasses you are looking through... And know that you are not alone. You expressed it beautifully .... And your tears reminded me of a song I grew up with: Tears are a Language God Understands. God bless and may the spirit of Christmas reminds you that there is hope...and love and peace and you have it all in you right now!
