Cries Til Sunrise
I've come a long way since that fateful day
The day that GOD chose to take you away
My emotions use to sway towards ideation
But that sum didn't add up in the equation
Depression unsucessfully pulled me asunder
I couldn't see clearly like the Stevie Wonder
But I'm a Soldier with or without the uniform
I've earned my stripes and weathered storms
My heart's been torn but it's starting to mend
The pain's are subsiding but they'll never end
I bend but won't break for weight on my shoulders
No pain, no gains; I'm sane and getting stronger
The day that GOD chose to take you away
My emotions use to sway towards ideation
But that sum didn't add up in the equation
Depression unsucessfully pulled me asunder
I couldn't see clearly like the Stevie Wonder
But I'm a Soldier with or without the uniform
I've earned my stripes and weathered storms
My heart's been torn but it's starting to mend
The pain's are subsiding but they'll never end
I bend but won't break for weight on my shoulders
No pain, no gains; I'm sane and getting stronger

Author's Note
Jan 26th will make it 9 years since the death of my grandmother. Life hasn't been the same since her departure from this realm. Yet, I'm still marching forward on the battlefields of this thing called life. Lace up your boots and keep fighting against whatever battles you may be enduring.

I sympathies with you brother for 37 years ago on January 17, I lost the other half of me suddenly, with our only son in my belly. But the only good thing is that his legacy is a reminder of the love we shared. January is still a hard month for me, but I continue on for we were more than mates, we are still joined by the spirit. With my health failing me now & in November I lost his sister that I was close to, so it was doubly hard to deal with this year, but still I raise above my sorrow & stay in the present. The tears I shed cleanse my grief, & even though I am not a soldier to this world, I have become a soldier in life for my children's & my life.
Well penned, My Brother.💯👊🏾

Perhaps it's because I know my own grandmother's life is beginning to wind down that this spoke to my core, especially with a line like "The pain's are subsiding but they'll never end". I'm looking for strength now, though I know when the time comes only God's grace and our faith can help us through.
Thank you for sharing.
