We come and go 
and pay you no attention
we try to ignore you 
as if you don't exist
but you creep up on us and
take us by surprise


you take old
and young
you do not discriminate


how do we not understand
something that happens every. day. 
how do i not understand?
life. death. grieving. pain. 
and yet it is so foreign? 


but so real. 

"On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are how fragile we are" 





But this is our hope: 

"Where, O death, is your victory? 

Where, O death, is your sting?"

Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ
~ 1 Corinthians 15:55,57
