HIDDEN GRIEF

How lonely the valley where sorrows reside

Where emptiness lingers with darkness inside

The light that once shone from the heaven's above

Is nothing but shadows once flowing with love.

Where is the joy that would brighten each day

Who is the thief that has painted life gray?

Silence and sadness have torn it apart           

No one can fathom the grief in my heart!

Distractions in time are so often a pain

Vacations and parties seem also in vain

The promise is given and vict'ry is won 

When faith reaches up to the God three in One.

Jesus has borne all our grief and its loss

There is no chasm His love cannot cross

Take up His yoke that is easy to bare

Resting in Him will remove all your care.

B. Pent
