Grief
I wrote this for my cousin Dewey when he discovered his wife and two children murdered in their home, Sept. 1999.
WHEN TIME STOOD STILL
I will never forget the day
When all of time stood still.
I will never forget that day
When I cried, “God, is this Your will?”
Time went on for all the rest,
Normal in so many ways.
A fleeting second, a heartbeat in time
Can change the course of the day.
A moment and a sudden change
Befell me as others carried on.
As I sat in disbelief
I felt like a checkmated pawn.
Unable to move, nothing in return
My world came to a crashing halt.
While waiting on help to arrive
All I could think was, "Who is at fault?"
Those long silent moments
I felt so helpless in aid,
Were like the ticks on the hands of Time
Stood still…for no sound they made.
I’ve come a long way since that fateful day,
And my progress is beginning to show.
I know my God wept with me then
And holds me up wherever I go.
Though these memories are now a part
Of who I am and will be,
I will move ahead with Time on my side…
Day by day the seconds flee.
With each passing tick of the clock
I climb up healing’s hill.
But I shall never forget the moment
When all of time stood still.
