Discovering Hope



Discovering Hope

I watch a moving tribute, one draped in respectful silence, it contains a tremendous dignity.
It is a revelation so peaceful, it makes me so grateful, as eternity beckons to me, teasing a longed for serenity.

There I am moved to tears, I seek understanding, trying to make sense of this loss, this open sore.
I find a revelation so certain, it appears so final, I discover hope, where at last I am restless no more.

For I am grief
May my stay in your heart be mercifully brief.
For I am belief
May my stay in your heart bring blessed relief.
