The day should be black
Bleak and grey
The sun should not shine
Trees should not sway
No smiling faces should be seen
Nor laughter should be heard
Just the heaviness of pain
Laying on our heart
Just like a forest after a fire
Blackened, charred pieces
Of what used to be life
Standing alone and dark
But no. Life does march on
The sun does still shine,
Clouds still do move
The wind chimes chime
Children laugh and play
People go to work
It doesn’t seem fair
With all of this hurt
But as snow slowly covers
The blackest of woods
Till all is covered
By layers of white
Freezing a moment
In dazzling beauty
White, ice and snow
Creating such tranquility
Then spring comes and brings
New life out of death
Till scars are hardly noticed
Though still they are there
Life will be renewed
Although it takes long
We’d like to go there now
And skip this sad time
Take this pain dear God from our heart
Relieve the pressure of our missing part
Remind us again of Your presence here
And how all along, you’ve always been near
