Comfort and Healing

Loved one gone,
faithful mate
for many years -
loneliness,
grief,
blackness,
despair,
overwhelming
pain...
How to live
again,
meaning
and purpose
gone?

God heals
the broken-hearted
and binds up
their wounds.

Strength gone,
speech impaired,
coordination
shaky,
disobedient arm...
tears well up,
grief that what was
may never be again.

God heals
the broken-hearted
and binds up
their wounds.
