Sorrow fills me
Tears well up inside
Flowing down my cheeks
Pooling on the floor
Jesus wept
Death returns once more
Grief fills my soul
So much living remained
Cut short by the grave
Jesus wept
Deep hurt inflicted
The memories return
Sadness overtakes me
The pain, too much to bear
Jesus wept
Memories haunt me
Violent outbursts
Directed at me
Muscles tense, I recoil
Jesus wept
Hope has vanished
Stricken from this place
Emotions overwhelm me
All seems so pointless
Jesus wept
I see him weeping
I see his love for him
I see his love for me
He knows my pain
Jesus wept
He weeps with me
Tears pool on the floor
But his are tinged with red
Love for me so deep
Jesus wept
There is life after pain
There is life after hurt
There is hope in sorrow
There is life after death
Jesus rose
His love abounds
He wipes away my tears
His grace is sufficient
His hope eternal
Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” – John 11:35-36 (NIV)
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” – John 11:25-26

The pain is deep
It eats at my soul
My heart stiffens
I ache for relief
My body tightens
Muscles tense
Tendons strain
I can’t move
My brain swells
Turbulence within
Emotions swirl
A whirlwind inside
Tears well up
Eyes close
Salt water streams
Touch my lips
Body crumples
Folding in half
Whimpers break
The silent room
Darkened window
Broken shade
Beam of light
Upon the floor
Tear drops glisten
Reflecting light
Sparkles of hope
Deep in my soul
