Lamentations 3:1a
Sitting at her bedside
I watched her fade away
knowing there was nothing
I could do or say to change that day
I held her hand
with tears I would pray
until at last heaven’s breezes
took her away
Placed in my heart
affliction’s seed sown
my soul reeling
God giving what I needed then to own
And time went by
with sorrow and a sigh
my prayers God heard
my strength His Word
Standing at his graveside
traumatized mourners wept
yet there was something
secretly peaceful that I kept
You spoke to hearts as
I shared in grief
I held their hands
begged them to believe
Even affliction can be good
when known in the love of a caring God
Who waters the seed with our own tears
and rescues us from all our fears
From my grief
To His peace
To shared belief
To find relief
