A Poem by J Alexander (The Bible Poet)

 

GRIEF IS A THIEF

Poem #0021

Just like a thief, who comes unexpected

Grief shows its face, when we’re least protected

We can pretend it’s not happening, we can choose to deny

Or we can turn to the Bible, and give God a try

 

Grief is a deep and very powerful emotion

You’ll feel tossed and turned, like a wave on the ocean

Grief comes to us in all shapes and sizes

It brings us confusion, and all kinds of surprises

 

Our Lord stays close to those who are brokenhearted

While we mourn for our love ones, those dearly departed

He knows we will feel alone and forgotten

But He will never forsake us, our hurts He will soften

 

Peter felt grief, when Jesus he denied knowing

And he wept when the roaster, he heard 3 times crowing

But Jesus forgave him, with love not commanding

He forgave his son, with great understanding

 

God understands about grief and sorrow

He says live for today, and don’t worry about tomorrow

God wants His Children to never fear grief

He’ll always protect us because He knows, “Grief is a Thief”
