LOSS AND HOPE (Poem)

A long road now feels rough and quiet,
the voice beside you gone.
There is no shortcut through this loss;
it hurts to feel alone.

If strength is feeble and hope is frail,
The Lord will carry us through.
He meets us where the heart now rests,
when words no longer do.

When grief surrounds you in its shadows,
reminding you of loss,
then rest in Jesus and His promise;
His love shown on a cross.

Until the day we are reunited,
His peace still knows our name.
In faith He’ll keep our hearts secured;
His love will be the same.

(Lucas Albrecht)
