A Poem for those Who Have Lost a Loved One
Kristi
This is a poem that I have on my wall right next to my desk. It was in a card given to me by a dear friend right after the loss of my beautiful daughter Kristi. After four years it still comforts me. After writing a few hubs on my experience I have received numerous messages from other mothers who have lost children - it breaks my heart. I thought I would share this poem in hopes that it might help someone else:
"God's beautiful plan
Is sometimes concealed,
But someday His purpose
Will be fully revealed.
Someday God's wisdom
Will make it very plain
Why problems were permitted
And how He uses pain.
Things thought illogical
Disease, tragedy, fear
Will someday make sense
When God makes all things clear.
We'll see the Lord's purpose
From Heaven's point of view,
And we will understand
In ways we never knew.
Till we are home with God
Some answers have to wait.
Lord, We'll Trust and Obey.
Lord, help us walk by faith."
