Our Scream in the Dark

Sometimes I feel,
as though we’re all just shouting in the dark.
We pretend to be strong
and so we scream,
but everyone’s screaming
and no one’s listening,
so despite our loud voices,
we end up
all alone.

Tell me
when could we come home?
When do we feel
that we have been heard?
Ah, perhaps when silence
fills the air
and we all grew tired of shouting.
Perhaps when we allow
our saddest tears to fall,
and someone catches them all.
Someone who hears
the song of our souls.

Grief Poems for the Loss of a Loved One

Grief Poems for the Loss of a Loved One “Sometimes grief is like a wave, and healing is like a butterfly.” It is not because things die, That they are beautiful. Things are beautiful Because somehow, A part of them lives on And never dies… When we are mourning the death of a loved one, we experience a profound sadness that nobody else seems to understand. Many times, all we need is just a warm hand to hold us and a friend who will be there for us as we face the most difficult times we’ve ever had. Let these grief poems be like a friend to you, revealing the deepest hurts in your heart as you strive to find some comfort in your hour of grief. Here are some of the grief poems included in the book: Not for One Moment Not for one lonely moment, Not for one troubled day, Not for one passing hour, Had I failed to remember you. Yes, you who are mine; You, who would always be the one. And not for one passing moment, Could you ever be truly gone. For you are right here where I stand — Here, w...

What the Book “A Walk to Remember” Taught Me About Falling in Love With God

A Book Review: Timeless Christian Lessons From the Classic Romance Novel by Nicholas Sparks For years, I was content that I have watched the film based on Nicholas Sparks’s novel “A Walk to Remember”. It wasn’t until I found a social media post asking about books that made readers cry that I regained interest in reading it. What’s different about the book? Would I really cry? These were just some of the questions I had when I decided to purchase the classic romantic novel. Set in 1958, the story about Landon Carter and Jamie Sullivan takes on a different period but not a contradicting theme. In fact, I think the book and the movie complement each other. Watching the film and reading the book provides people an experience that helps them gain a deeper and richer grasp of the story. Told through the point of view of Landon, the book allows the reader to see things from his perspective. The reader sees what he sees, and I think this works most especially in the way he sees Jamie. I love h...

The Ultimate Guide When a Friend Breaks Your Heart

Image
“In every friendship hearts grow and entwine themselves together, so that the two hearts seem to make only one heart with only a common thought. That is why separation is so painful; it is not so much two hearts separating, but one being torn asunder.”- Fulton J. Sheen When we were kids, I think a friend is that one person we get to love for real outside of our family. It is from this person that we learn how to like and how to be liked. It is from this person that we learn the meaning of “trust”. When we grew up, however, the word love referred more and more to that “special someone”, a girlfriend or a boyfriend we feel we’d give our lives for no matter what. Maybe this is the reason why “broken hearts” almost always meant breakups with one’s romantic partner. It’s as though our hearts could never be broken by anyone else. It’s as though we couldn’t suffer more whenever we lose a friend. If you have experienced losing both, however, would you agree? Was it any less painful when you’ve...
