Himself at church and gave his
Shoulder a hug.
Words weren't really needed.
We often say, after a dear one dies,
That life goes on.
But it's not life as we once knew it.
We walk with a limp.
Our hearts are ripped.
Our emotions are wounded and
Tender.
At times it's hard to breathe.
Life does go on, but it's an altered
Existence, and we compensate by
Leaning heavily on the One who holds
Us up and keeps us going.
