How to Move on

(Lamentations of a grieving mother but with hope of the hereafter)

I know someone who is so precious

I hold her in my heart very dear
I’ve loved her with a love most gracious
Won’t let her memories disappear.

I thought I couldn’t live without her

I always wanted to see her nigh
She and I are always together
I thought I will never let her die.

But something happened that made me cry

A tragedy hit our family
My heart burst, it’s not only to sigh
But to grieve for such reality

I’m really bereft beyond compare

Weak, disheartened and like to cower
The joys, the loved ones, I hold so dear
Couldn’t comfort in this trying hour

Until the Lord made me realize

He’s there He bids me to lean on Him
He’ll soothe my longings and wipe my cries
Trust Him even how hard it may seem.

He teaches me what I ought to do

To lay hold of all His promises
Put them to heart and have a breakthrough
Walk with Him despite all my lapses.

He points me to life that is to come

To still have hopes, dreams for the future
Life eternal, the portion of some
For those who loved Him, that is for sure.
