Why does the sound of the wind break my heart? It carries away the long ago laughter Of yesterday's children And flings it beyond my reach It runs without a care Along trails blazed by my mighty hunter Brushing over the fields of your boyhood As if your absence doesn't matter Yesterday's gentle breeze returns Without mercy Empty handed Putting the sting into silent tears That splash onto the future that never was The wind lies to me Telling me it goes to where you are It tosses treetops that sport leaves you never saw It races through the yard as if you never existed It blots out the noise of a world Where you cannot be found Where my boy once played And it whispers to me of tomorrows Without you
As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; Psalm 103:15-17

Thanks, Sherrie. I almost didn’t publish it because I didn’t want to make anyone cry. But, well…I guess we are all crying anyway.

Kim, I am glad that you published it…I feel your heart and I pray the loving arms of our Father God cradle you with gentle mercies – If I were there, I would smile and hug you tenderly and cry with you…yes we are all crying…and my Mama’s heart beats with the promise of eternity – our hope…a sweet, sweet reunion in Christ. ❤
