The Legacy of Love
Your loved one has gone
the pain is beyond tears and words
No-one can release you from
the torment that remains
What is there left but an empty world?
Life becomes a torturous sentence and the realisation
that grief is the price of love
You search each dark corner
hoping, just hoping, for a healing beam of light
Yet in your heart you know it is not to be
for the hand of life has slipped from your grasp
But the darkness of adversity
will now become your teacher
and deliver you from a pit of despair
– Open your eyes, walk outside
and listen to the birds
Feel the warmth of the sun on your face
then look through your tears of grief
for they are blinding you to the light that awaits
Finally, remember too that the load you carry
is the grief engulfed within your heart
But if you leave it with God – safe in
the knowledge that your loved one now lies
on a bed of perfect peace, tranquillity and love –
you will walk free; free from pain,
free from the anger, guilt or regret
that now chain your very soul; for He will
lighten your load and free your mind
so that it may again clasp the hand of love –
the love that remains in you never to be taken away
until you meet again – the time, the place
known only unto God
A poem for all those left behind and grieving …. from the Stephensons
