Grief…brittle hope

February 16, 2021 /

The leaves of autumn did not bring their normal respite to my soul. I lost my precious mama in October of 2020. Grief has never felt so empty and yet I am not without hope because of my God. As I stood on the path we walked each visit, the leaves fallen and brittle, my heart dug deep to the love my mama gave. Life will never be the same but she is at peace with God, and I will see her again…on the other side of my tomorrow.

Loneliness stirs

Weakening my already brittle spirit

Heaviness settles

Pressing down on my broken heart

Thanksgiving begins

Bearing pain beneath the tears

Happiness grieves

Making way to new memories

But for today, my soul simply remembers
