There is no hole as deep and dark
as the one left by sorrow and grief.
A hole so vast a mountain would fit in
A hole shaped like the one we lost.
Hear my cry oh Lord, I know you understand,
for you must have grieved the day you lost your
only son on the cross.
The heavens turned black, rain pouring down
washing away his last drop of blood,
flowing from his side,and the thorns which
were his crown.
Help me Lord, to put my dear one to rest,
to release her to you,
Take away the sorrow and pain.
Guide my steps that I may not stumble and fall,
Tell me how to pick up the torch in honor
and love, so I may continue to follow you and glorify
your name, through the ministries that was her passion.
Mend my broken heart, yet once again
and dry the river of tears.
Help me remember her with joy in my heart.
now you are holding our loved one so dear.
I know I will see her one day
I will have forgotten all the pain.
For this I am so sure,
Our loss is heavens gain.
Though our tears may fall
Our hearts torn apart, heavy with pain
Clinging to our memories, the precious times we had.
So please Dear Lord, give her a kiss for me,
and tell her I love her too,
Thank you for caring for her first
as you promised you would do.
Heal me Lord, and let me find peace in you,
My sorrow is but for a short time.
I know greater things are yet to come.
Her absence is sorely felt by all
this grief is not only mine.
She heard you call, she had to go.
Your sweet voice she could not resist
arriving at heavens’gates at last.
she loved you Lord through sickness and pain,
Now she is home, healed at last.
No memories of the past-
I can hear her say with joy in her voice
dancing all around, at the top of her voice-
“Its ok sis, it was worth it all”-
“I am home at last!!”

thanks to all that have responded to my poems .. I still miss my sister dearly and still have a hard time sometimes keeping from crying but she wanted all to remember as she was full of life and laughture or not at all..It is a daily strugle because I am still recovering from cancer myself but I know she want me to stay in my faith and go on with a positive attitude for us both..my visions of her are of her dancing all around for the Lord and it keeps me going..thanks again for all the many people that care and respond..Love always Lisa

BEAUTIFUL
a stunningly written poem that is full of sadness and grief but finds succor in the fact that our final home is after all heaven where we all, the lost ones meet!a divine conclusion to an earthly woe that can be quite plaguing to human beings.the call of the Lord has to be heeded to, no matter who we are.We all live with a profound hope that the righteous of the Lord will one day have a happy get-together that will become eternal thereafter!A simple idea translated quite ingenously into a divine belief by the masterly use of simple but appropriate words. -
thanks for the kind words from all about this poem..I am sure it does sound forced in many ways..but I can asure all it was written with much anguish and love. My sister was my rock and I feel very lost with out her. I know she is in a better place and out of pain. I am sure she is dancing all around because that was her passion..I know God has many plans for her..even so.. she is greatly missed... Iccara..

This is such a beautiful piece. My heart goes out to you. I feel you pain and anguish but I know you have hope for the future. Don't give up on your beliefs. As you say...your loss is heavens gain.

I enjoyed reading the faith and acceptance beaming through your sad words. I also love that you used the background image that parallels the referances to freedom expressed in your words.
