Lonely for You is a sort of ‘pre’ grief poem I wrote for a husband on the eve of his wife’s passing. As he waited by her bedside, she died the next day. Especially with long term illness, grief comes long before the funeral. Maybe this has been your experience in one way or another with loved ones. May your faith be restored.
Lonely for you
Forever lonely for you
In my bed
In my head
Wishing you were here
Wishing you were near
Laughing
Touching
Crying
Quiet
Instead, weeping
Alone
Silent
Emotional riot
So lonely for you
But God’s presence, near
Lonely for you
But the Great I Am,
He’s here
Be the Comfort
Peace
Great Calmer of Storms
Be Emanuel
God with Us
Protector from harms
I’m lonely for you
But His Presence is more
I’m lonely for you
Faith, restore.
