THIS IS MY COMFORT, MY CONSOLATION AND MY BREATH OF FRESH AIR
IN THE MIDST OF MY DEPRESSION AND LOSS,
YOUR WORD NOURISHES AND REPAIRS ME,
IT REVIVES MY LIFE AND YOUR PROMISES RESTORE ME AND MAKE ME WHOLE.
~
"THIS IS MY COMFORT IN MY AFFLICATION, FOR YOUR WORD HAS GIVEN ME LIFE."
PSALM 119:50 NKJV

No one knows the torment
That you were going through;
We only wanted to do
Everything we could for you.

We saw the outward smile,
But not your inner pain:
We never really dreamt,
That you would never smile again.

Forgive us if we did not see,
What more we could do to aid;
Or if we failed to comprehend,
How much you were afraid.

We pray your mental anguish,
Will now forever cease;
And that your deep anxieties,
Will be replaced by peace.

We know your pain invaded,
Every single thought you had;
It made you cry internally,
And deeply, deeply sad.

But we in turn remember,
The good times, not the bad;
We remember when you smiled at us,
And not when you were sad.

So when we think about your life,
We won’t dwell upon it’s close;
We’ll remember all the good times,
And forget about life’s lows.

We’ll remember all the happiness,
The joy and not the tears;
The assurance and the confidence,
And not irrational fears.

Our lives have all been better,
Because you have been there;
So now we leave your memory,
In God’s unconditional loving care.
