LAMENTATIONS
Heaven's Grace Is Hiding
Aubrey Bahala


And no matter how happy you are
An hour before,
You will never have an idea
What is written on God’s palms.
He could take everything away from you
In a split-second or so.

Say to the people close to your heart
That they mean a lot to you, because when
The hands of the clock reach its destined place
And when God forbids their souls to live any longer
You can never bring back whatever He wishes
To take away from you.

Surely, people who will be gone will miss you.
You are dear and you are cherished without
You knowing, because of some unsaid feelings.
All you have with you now is a broken heart
And your swollen eyes, extremely tired of crying.

Who are you to blame the heavens?
You are just another creature, and He may
Choose you to be the next in line.

So before everything fades away and before all
The people you love starts falling into
The ground, into their respective graves,
Be brave to say that they mean a lot.
Be brave to say what they must know.

Because sooner or later,
You won’t see them ever again in your life,
They won’t hear you crying
When they’re already six feet
Below the ground
You’re stepping on.

Surely, it hurts more than it appears to be.
Surely, it’ll be long after the pain subsides.
But angels will surely guide him, to his very
Own place in Heaven, where he should belong.
Be thankful you’ve met him.
Be grateful, you’ve had him.
You can’t turn back the hands of time.
You can never see him smile again.
Don't be afraid.
Go on with life, he'll watch you from above.
