I saw you today In an unexpected way. A joyous moment Pierced with pain, Like lightening on a summer's night Making way for rain. It wasn't only here you've shown up, Countless things remind me of those precious Years before you'd grown up. How can this world- How can this one moment hold So many conflicting emotions I simply must fold. Like my stomach's in my throat And my knees have gone weak. Even if you were here, I'm not sure I could speak. I hadn't always said The right things in the past And even though I knew Most things don't last I never could have prepared For the pain that lies In the hearts of those who Get no chance at goodbyes. It is God Who binds the wounds Of the brokenhearted And He has His work cut out With me since you departed. Maybe every time my chest Squeezes tight, He's wrapping my heart again so I can stay in the fight. I know He decides The lengths of our lives, But would never claim to understand How He chooses who survives. Next time I see you In an unexpected way, I'll know my wounds are being treated And today is not my day. (32) |
