Turn To Me For Comfort, My Child. Look Up! Poem by Macy (Nina) Dvirnak

Sorrow reigns heavy upon my heart,
Yes, it rains down on my soul.

I am reminiscing my losses-
Remembering my pain.

My world is dark,
And there is no escape!

I am weary of this burden
From it, I try to run-

But, the gloom ensnares me,
It cuts me down-

My head is clouded as my emotions storm,
I am drowning in tears of my own regret.

Alas-
Such is the effect of loved one's deaths.

But, harken-

What am I doing?
Staring at the ground!

I must not look at the mortal end,
But beyond it to eternity.

She, and he-
I miss them dearly-
Simple words cannot explain-

But I have my own life
And mission to fulfill-

I shall carry out God's plan for me,
And happily do His will.

Aye, it has been many a day,
Since two people in my life
Were taken away.

But above my clouds,
The sun still shines-

The Son, He is watching over me.

So I will look up,
Into my Father's eyes.

I will count my many blessings,
I will name them one by one.
I will count my many blessings
And see what God has done

And when life's race is run
My body will fail,
But my soul will fly-

This is my
Eternal joy-

For a child of God Am I.
