Who Will Be the One to Cry

when I am gone?

Will it be in the rain that falls

as it protects the forest

I once used to roam?

Or mist upon the lake that swells

filled with the spatter of God’s power?

Perhaps the same tears when my little

boy hurt his foot and to mommy

he rushed for a hug?

Now all gather together in love

amidst the challenge of family caring

praying together for each other

as Bible pages from God bring life.
