Fumbling for static feelings

Searching for true words

I want to feel loss

But there’s too much to do

I’m losing you

Gripping tighter

Doesn’t slow down the loss

I want to be still

But there’s too much to do

Just pause for a minute

Can everything stop?!

Stop leaving

Stop fading

Let me linger with my Dad

A little longer

Where is he?

Is he still here?

Can someone ask over the microphone

“There’s a boy here

Looking for his Dad”

Nothing stopped

I think it’s speeding up

Where’s my Dad?

I think I saw him!

Is that him?

He’s gone…

One day

Soon I hope

There’s a big hug coming

A big bear hug

And I’ll see that smile

Backlit by conscious pride

Oh! What a day

Of rejoicing

That will be

Come, Lord Jesus

Hasten the day

You give us victory

Over these tears
