Everyone suffers loss:
work and health,
relationships and security,
certainty.
Loss often strips us of joy.
Sometimes loss makes us feel powerless.
It raises frustration.
Feelings of futility may surface
and seem to control.
Anger and sorrow commingle.
Something’s amiss.
Everyone suffers loss.
Most people you meet
are just trying to find their way
in life
as best they know how.
Every day is a day to show mercy.
Every day is a day to offer grace.
Every day is a day to listen well.
Every day is a day to remember
there’s more than meets the eye
going on.
Every day is a day to be the friend
that’s gained
when someone is suffering loss.
