Give Yourself A Little Grace
For a Friend Who Lost Her Adult Daughter

*This was written a couple of years ago, this woman's strength is amazing, truly a testament that we serve a miracle working God, she lost her daughter that year but not her faith!
Your hurting
The pain so raw
You can cut
It with a knife
Trying to
Get through each
Day
Moving along
On autopilot
It’s Okay
To not be
Okay
Give yourself
A little grace.

Give yourself
A little grace
The pain you
Feel is raw
And real
Going with the
Motions,
Wearing a
Sad smile
It’s Okay
Not to wear
The masks
Your hurting
And it’s okay
To not be okay.

You have bore
A heavy loss
Heartbroken
And full
Of pain
Simply trying
To go with
The motions
That get you
Through the coming days
It’s Okay
Not to be okay.
