Why? Poem by jennifer carranza

Tell me, what is it like when the
bottom falls out of your world?
When life ceases to have any meaning
and your future is no more
When your heart breaks in two
and there seems no reason to go on
How do you find motivation for tomorrow?

Perhaps there is no answer
And you ask 'Why does God permit such tragedies'?
You live your life as best you can
You help others along the way
and yet...
You are rewarded with such pain

How do you face another day
when half your life is no longer here?
Do you give up and walk away
with happiness a distant place?
Or do you leave the door of your heart ajar
so that healing will enter and life reborn?

For God comes to those that weep
It is He who will get you through
Out of tragedy new life will come
Out of darkness will come light
Be brave, be strong and light the candle off
