AS MUCH AS IT HURTS
As much as it hurts;
As much as we agree with our religion
And try to understand GOD's Master Plan;
Or perhaps we already know
That GOD has a Master Plan;
But don't quite understand it;
In either case GOD understands
That we are "imperfect human beings"
And knows that, no matter how much we try
To understand His Master Plan,
Losing a loved-one hurts!
As much as it hurts;
We have to be strong enough to carry on,
As our dearly departed would expect us to;
We need to have faith that we will someday
See each other again;
But only this time, it'll be for all Eternity,
Living in true peace without the hurt.
As much as it hurts;
Think about this:
One minute in Heaven
Is equal to 100 years on Earth;
For us, the next 10, 20, 50 or even 75 years,
Living without a loved-one hurts;
But for them, it'll be like you dropped them off at a restaurant
And parked the car.
They'll turn and spot you and say:
"OH! There you are!"
As much as it hurts;
Think about this:
As you pray for the faithful departed loved-one(s) of your life;
End your prayers and,
As you used to answer your Mom or Dad
As they called you to the dinner table,
Gently whisper: "Be with you in a MINUTE!"
