Stop And Remember

We move too quickly
hurry forward
reach for something quick
to try and fill the gap
left behind
by the absence.
If we stop and wait
the grief will come
and how good
it feels
to cry, to write,
to remember
and in that moment
as heart cries out
for relief from the pain
to only One who can,
we find the healing
we need.
Life really does rush by
too fast.
