Brevity of Life



In the brevity of life
we hold to few things
that remain dear to us
at the end of our days

The ambiguity of time
and the frailty of hope
leave us distant still
from what we long to love

Enduring pain we suffer
that lingers in moments
that happen so quickly
Keep bottled up inside

Yet we hold out for more
in moments of anguish
We are moved to believe
There still is more to this

The shadow of our souls
reminds us light exists
just beyond the sorrow
that we have held on to

The memories  we carry
Resound an eternal echo
That reminds our heart
Of a Hope beyond this life

For Grace extends to us
Freedom found in mercy
Setting us free from pain
That has bound our heart
