Timeless one would say
I look around seeing frowns on people's faces.
I tell myself I cannot waste any more time
I have places to see
I have to live out my dreams.
Soon, I hear cries coming from the other room
in our home, hearts have been shattered
and tears fall hard
when we got the call
that cut so deep within me.
I cannot leave my house
because I'm deeply wounded,
I'm cut in two
from this painful news,
I lost a son in death.
I didn't know how to feel,
all I knew was this couldn't be real.
I started praying on my hands and knees
Oh, God please help me.
As my own tears fall
I remember a poem by Rupi Kaur she written:
''What is stronger than the human heart
which shatters over and over
and still lives.''
Oh, how I understood those words
they come to me so clearly.
I do often think about her words
while I'm living in my own
painful darkest hours,
where there is always rain showers.
I do thank her for those words of truth
Life is timeless
until a loved one dies.
Soon, everything stands still
in your own shatter heart
where life seems so gray.
Now, all I have upon my face
is the frown that seems to never go away.
