This poem is beautiful in its presentation of honest grief and affirmation of life and loss. I may send this to her. One of the great things about poetry, how it can express how we feel when we cannot.

I like that it allows for raw and honest grief while simultaneously and assuredly asserting that God is wise and just and good. Unanswered questions are par for the course on this side of eternity, I suppose. Thanks for this, Kris!Molly Sabourinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289593743687415065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436782596901032353.post-88909368870469871742010-05-19T09:23:57.594-05:002010-05-19T09:23:57.594-05:00I'm not sure I totally understand your poem, b...I'm not sure I totally understand your poem, but it does remind me that God is the one in control - He knows when our time here is done. As you know I had to accept that when Dad died - God knew why and why so young when he had so many dreams and plans! I see just a smidgen of the why's now, but of course not all of them. Probably we'll never know all the why's - it's just for us to TRUST!Beth Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01177578871059989951noreply@blogger.com
