Maybe I’m not strong enough.
I can’t help but weep,
Though I know it’s for me,
Not the one who has gone on.
Maybe it’s the envy I feel
For a fellow traveler
Who’s found her way back
To the arms of her father.
Maybe I don’t have faith enough.
And I think this all.
My tears are from hopelessness,
Despair at the end.
Maybe I am human;
This is natural
To weep for the unknown
Not sure what has passed.
Maybe I will never know
Why I cry today.
The tears come as they may,
Staining my cheeks.
Maybe it’s okay.
Jesus wept too!
Maybe, just maybe,
My tears will bring peace.
