Poem - I Hurt - Unknown Author

Here is a poem I found on a grief support group. I really like it. :) I don't know who the original author is.



I said, "God I hurt."

And God said, "I know."

I said, "I cry a lot."

And God said, "That's why I gave you tears.

"I said, "Life is so hard."

And God said, "That's why I gave you loved ones.

"I said, "But my loved one died!"

And God said, "So did mine!"

I said, "It's such a great loss."

And God said, "I saw mine nailed to a cross."

I said, "But your loved one lives!"

And God said, "So does yours!"

I said, "Where is he now?"

And God said, "My son is by my side and Your son is in my arms."

The author of this poem is Anonymous. it was written and left at the site of the Oklahoma City Bombing. I am so sorry for your loss, and I know the meaning of many losses, but cannot imagine that of a child....May the Will of God never take u where the Grace of God will not protect u.
