Tragedy (Vol 3 No 93)
Many the question flood into our lives
When, without reason, cripp’ling pain invades,
When heavy sorrows raid our family home,
Forcing retreat from light into the shades.
In heavy darkness shock and fear take charge;
All we can do is hide our face and cry;
Stark emptiness pervades our soul and mind;
In pain we shout our silent question, “Why?”
No answers come that ever satisfy;
In this confusion can there be some light?
That’s when we need to melt in loving arms
Of those who care, who help us through the night.
With love surrounding, with love by our side,
As love enfolds us, takes us by the hand,
We may find strength to face another day;
From shrinking downwards, rise again and stand.
God is within and knows our aching pain;
God is within and shares the grief we own;
God is the love that comes when others care;
God whispers from within, “You’re not alone.”
