The Loss of A Loved One
by poet720ylvs © 2004

How does one express the pain that you may feel?
As this pain is so great and you try so hard to conceal.
This pain you endure when a loved one has died;
Tears away at your heart as the loss seems magnified.

You know your loved one is now with the Lord;
but this was still someone that you truly adored.
The pain is indescribable, it is something beyond belief.
Nothing can compare, as it is an inconsolable grief.

How does one express the feeling of suffocation?
You suddenly realize this is an emotional confrontation.
What does God give us in the way of consolation?
He eases our pain with the Holy Spirit as this was His proclamation.

Although our loved one has gone home to be with the Lord;
It is hard to believe that they have come to their final reward.
There is an emptiness knowing this loved one has really gone;
They have faded away like the stars of a brand new dawn.

There is fulfillment in knowing that our life is only temporary;
Jesus paid the price on the cross and we are the beneficiary.
Our Lord has told us He will be with us to the very end;
We need only to love Him as He is truly our best friend.
