The loss of my child, forever, changed my life indeed
The pain it caused, the outside world could not perceive

So very blessed, but still so sad
Praise God the good days outweigh the bad 

Depression is no joke...it, truly, can bury you
But God can bring you out...He will surely carry you

PTSD is for real...it traumatizes me over & over again
I pray that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, comfort me then

Oh, the mental anguish, here on earth, I've endured
But, one day, I'll have no more sorrows, Jesus has assured  

I look forward to that day when I'll be completely restored
And be reunited with my loved ones and live forevermore
