Centered in the heart

Cracking and tearing

A family apart…

One travels on

To the promised land

The rest of us stay

Carrying on with

Our plans

Missing and longing

For the one that is gone…

We’re taught to rejoice

For the one who is chosen

But in the moment…

We tend to forget

That the chosen have

Risen to the height

Of their life

Following God’s

Unending light…
