Morning Will Come

by Martha Graham

Brokenhearted.....
How can I bear the pain?
So many plans.....interrupted
So many dreams.....shattered
Hopes.....dashed
All gone.
Why?
Why this?
Why us? Why me?
Helplesness.....Hopelesness.....
Life will never be the same again
Where are you, God?

I'm right here beside you, my child
Even though you may not feel my presence,
I'm holding you close under the shadow of my wings.
I will walk with you through the dark night

Do not shrink from weeping
I gave you tears for emotional release
Don't try to hide your grief
Let it become for you a source of healing,
a process of restoration,
for I have planned it so.
Those who mourn shall be blessed
I'll be holding on to you,
even when you feel you can't hold on to me.
