Poem

I lie in bed

thoughts fill my head

wond’ring “Why does this happen?”

My great grandpa now dead

as these terrible thoughts in my head spin

“I didn’t really know him”

“You don’t need to miss him”

but then I do

I miss him

But why?

I may be named from him

but never really known him

But then I remember You own him

so help me God

to know he’s in Your hands

and he gets the best of all lands

someday and someday soon

we’ll be together again worshipping You

and so I pray to Jesus who saved

‘Relive me of these thoughts

of the One who destroys all

and help me know

there is tomorrow’

And so I now lay

and now I’m ready

for the next day
