Poetry

---

The tracks of tears,
Refreshing? Not so.
Swiftly downward,
Silently go.

Unheeding pain
Felt deep within,
These silent creepers
Start once again.

Volcanic, at times,
Sputtering deep within,
Bursting up and over
Pain cascading.

Unwanted news,
Though expected, still,
Loss and heartache,
Surprises until…

What I knew comes,
Life ends for all,
Life given to God,
Goes to His call.

He calls to each,
Wanting to redeem,
He calls to His children,
Come, take your claim.

The promise from Him,
Upon accepting His gift,
Opens and reveals
For those who admit.

Admit His Son died,
Ransomed for all,
Sins washed away,
Children of faith.
Washed by His blood,
Cleansed from all sin,
Accepted by Father,
New life begins.

Entrance to heaven,
Open, free, for all,
Accept and believe,
Before tears fall.

Tears will still flow,
Trickling gently down,
At the loss of a dear one,
Absent here on this ground.

No more is present,
No more in pain,
No more discouragement,
Always have faith.

Faith in the Father,
Knowing He saved,
We’ll see our loved one,
Again, face to face.

Tears, yes, let them flow,
Cleansing, renewing,
Sputtering, flowing,
Refreshing relief.

Grief flowing up,
Tears flowing down,
Refreshing and healing,
God’s love surrounds.
Keeping and holding,
Weeping with you,
Comforting, cleansing,
His love ever new.
