I Sat Alone at Your Grave Today

I sat alone at your grave today
Thought I would go there and just silently pray
Hoping it might ease the pain in my heart
But I never could get the words to start
Instead it was tears that just freely flowed
As the weeks trials and hurts just all seemed to unload
Wishing you were here to tell me what to do and say
As I sat alone at your grave today
Being here at this place still feels so unreal
Like living in a dream, so very surreal
The sun is beaming through the space in the trees
Surrounding me with a warm gentle breeze
The birds are singing and the squirrels are running by
All clueless that a human sits here breaking inside
Then strangers walking by with nothing to say
As I sat alone at your grave today
But then I hear that still small voice
Giving my heart a small spark to somewhat rejoice
Reminding me to just trust God's plan
To close my eyes and hold onto His hand
That He will make my pathway clear
To be faithful and trust and to give Him my fear
So deep inside I begin to pray
As I sat alone at your grave today
I continue moving forward with the journey I'm on
Making most of each moment until I am gone
This is sure not easy and some days so hard
Like a wounded warrior battered and scarred
But I will rise to my feet and continue to press on
For the Lord will walk with me and make me strong
Thank you honey for listening to all I had to say
As I sat alone at your grave today
