Joy will seal

by royowen

There's really nothing I can say,
would ever take the pain away.
But I can stand with you and pray
that God brings joy all through each day.

They say that time can ease the pain,
yet in your heart sings grief's refrain.
I've lost a brother. so I know,
that grief's cold winds inside you blow.

But light all darkness will repeal,
and seize what healing's end will seal.
For in your loss compassion's sown,
within your heart you're not alone.

Yet in your mind the mem'ries merge,
and in the morning hope will surge.
And what was lost, it's hope you'll gain,
for in grief's flood comes love's sweet reign.

This is for a good friend and someone I care about, Sandra

For me I know that death is not the end but simply a new beginning,
for in lifes loss is a new day.
I have known loss, my own dear brother died just a few years ago, but out of all lhe long dark nights, the dawn still brings a new day, and the past is left behind.
Psalm 30:5 says.
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. NIV

Thanks for reading. R.Owen
