When I'm down and oh so weary
Burdens weigh on my shoulders
Clouds are dark and storms bleary
Thunders rages as avalanching boulders
Then
You lift me up and carry me
I can see the mountain peaks
When I stand on your shoulder
Hopeful days string into weeks
My heart warms as nights grow colder
When
You lift me up and carry me
As life and love end their days
When sorrow like the raging sea rolls
You shine light of reassuring rays
Though the grief exacts its tolls
Still
You lift me up and carry me
I can see the mountain peaks
When I stand on your shoulder
Hopeful days string into weeks
My heart warms as nights grow colder
My days are short; nights are long
Dreaded dark disguises your love
Yet my soul will sing a praise song
My heart is set on things above
For
You lift me up and carry me
I can see the mountain peaks
When I stand on your shoulder
Hopeful days string into weeks
My heart warms as nights grow colder

Beautiful
You life me up and carry me, Oh so beautiful and I am so glad he is carrying me.
I can see the mountain peaks
When I stand on your shoulder
Hopeful days string into weeks
My heart warms as night grow colder
Wow this is beautiful and thank you so much for your understanding of my pain but also the hope and that I'm not alone. This is an encouraging poem as I walk through the process of my grieving. My only hope truly is in the Lord and friends like you who continue to encourage me along when I just feel I can't make or take anymore that life has to dish out.
Wishing you many blessings
Much Love
Kelle Marie
