When Disaster Strikes--By Mary Kent--United States

When Disaster Strikes

 How do we deal with a sudden loss?
With mixed emotions weighing down our heart's,
We scream, we cry, we wonder why!

 How could this happen? Please Lord oh why?
Please give me strength to carry on and keep
the faith that makes me strong!

 You have a reason for this I know!
One should not question,
But, it is hard to let go!

 So take my hand and walk with me
to give me strength
to help set them free.

    Thank you Mary for a well written and inspiring poem. The Lord is most certainly our strength in times of adversity. Where can we turn for peace and where is our solace, He only one.
    Love, Charlene

    Beautifully said, Mary. Reminds me of the Psalms, and David as he cried out to the Lord in his pain, then worshiped the Lord as He provided strength and peace. Yes, it's hard to surrender to the Lord when it hurts. But His will is always to bless us. I love the ending...walking with the Lord. Lisa

      Lisa,
      Thank you. It's hard not to question and ask why?
      When a loved one passes have to believe he has a plan for us.

    Dear Mary,

    It's difficult not to react as you describe in your first verse when we experience a sudden loss. Over time, however, we come to realize that God has a plan for each of us and we will see our loved ones again in heaven. The grieving process is surely aided by those who offer a "hand" of comfort and faith keeps us going even through our darkest hours. You wrote this beautifully! Best wishes, Carolyn

    A very nicely written poem that gives hope and encouragement to a question that is often pondered by many, "How do we deal with" this and that. Good write, Mary. Thanks for sharing and continued blessings!
