THEY SAY

They say the pain gets better
That time will heal my loss
But today I doubt their wisdom
I miss you such a lot.

For though the sun in shining
And birds sing in the trees
My heart is overshadowed
With a pain I cannot ease.

I wander through the garden
And lift my eyes to God
And pray that He will lighten
The burden of my loss.

I know that you are happy
That nought can hurt you now
But still I need God's guidance
To help me at this hour.
