Deep Sorrow

Categories: Bereavement, Sorrow

Silent sobs deep within
Stir but do not surface
Emotions too profound
To come into the light.
Will I ever feel again
Loving happiness?
I think not.
Yet I do have moments
When former joy returns
But it never stays
Slips from my grip
As I try to hold it.
Life has lost meaning.

Please God help me
Restore to me
The joy of your salvation
Pour your oil of gladness
On all my sadness.
