Friday's Faith - The Body Speaks. Will We Listen?







Friday's Faith

The Body Speaks. Will We Listen?





The body speaks. Will we listen

As holidays near and parties beckon?



Grief's tsunami takes its toll ~

Loving on people is our goal,

But who are we now, and how will we function

When our "New Normal" issues its injunction?



Our loved ones may not understand

When our hearts don't heel to their ev'ry command,

But we must be mindful our hearts are crushed

And can't always hearken to the season's rush.



Our beloved child is deceased;

Our nurture for them must be unleashed

Onto our own grieving hearts and souls,

Now riddled with death's devastating holes.



The resilience that once had been there

Is now recused for our own soul's care...

Lest we go to the cupboard and find it bare.



The body speaks. Will we listen

Midst holiday tinsel, as our teardrops glisten?
