Broken

**

 The news shattered me,

My body is now weak,

And sleep eludes me.

 **

The hurt is deep,

My heart so broken,

Yet eyes unable to weep.

 **

 Forever seems the grief,

So cold and shocking,

For a life so brief.

 **

 Today is done,

With tomorrow on its way,

We hope to see the sun.

A line from a hymn touched me deeply while in church yesterday, and it inspired this poem. A lot of people are going through different levels of crisis and tough times. It seems to be a constant in our times. May God see us through it all.

Blessings and God’s grace to all.
