SHAKEN BALANCE
Suddenly My Path Got Jumbled
My Certain Plan Suddenly Was Unclear
Instinct , Find Strength Internal, Instead , I Just Found Fear
Charting a Courageous Course
Was a Plan That Soon Crumbled
Now I Just Pray This Deep Sadness Disappears
This Jumbled Path Defines a New
Never , Starkly Alone, I Face This Bridge I’m Forced to Cross
I Take no Solace Knowing Billions
Have and Will Be Familiar with This Loss
See, My Mom is Gone
I Was Not Prepared
I Never Imagined the Sharpness of This Grief.
Denial, Anger, Bargain,
Depressed
Imprisoned in the Maze of Disbelief
Raised on Her Wisdom, I Must Trust Her Love. I Must Trust These Tears Will Turn to Smiles,
and That My Memories Turn to Blessings, After a Little While
Her Strength is in Me, Her Mighty Spirit My Inheritance
Her Guidance Leads My Jumbled Journey
My Acceptance Her Deliverance
