Array ( [sid] => 32947 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Have I yet, to shed a tear! [time] => 2004-01-27 23:07:31 [hometext] => Dedicated to Kristen 13 years, Tyler 6 years, Athaniel 3 years, who died in a fire this weekend, [bodytext] => Have I yet to shed a tear,
before the rising sun,
and wonder once again, Dear Lord,
that three young lives are gone,
The blaze took over at three a. m.,
though not to wake a soul,
Thirteen, six, and three young years,
my heart is grieving so,

Our hands now empty, no words to say,
to soothe a mother's heart,
How it hurts to see the tears,
bleeding from her heart,

In somber mood, with all breath gone,
our heads hung, down and low,
we turn again, to ask you Lord,
where then are we to go,

Their ages tell the teardrop,
and emptiness we feel,
sometimes I wish it was a bad dream,
but this is 'oh so real',

Have I yet, to shed more tears,
before the rising sun,
and wonder Lord, be of your will,
that this durge is now our song !

(There is a fund set up for the family, contact me if you would like to donate)

Have I yet to shed a tear,

my heart is grieving so,

My heart goes out to you. What a terrible thing to happen! But shed those tears! Sometimes they're the only medicine for a broken heart. And trust in the Lord, He won't leave you, even if it feels like it.
Blessings
Andrew
