Is it finished?

I find myself surrounded by the dark of night
Having difficulty remembering the light of day.
The memories of long ago, once so good
Now lost in the fog of time.

At first it was easy to remember the bright days
So much joy, so much promise to start.
But the heart has trouble holding on
And the memories grow thin, only to be replaced with painful void.

To have loved and lost is not better, no.
That phrase could not have been spoken by a wise man.
For now the heart struggles to replace love
And rather than joy can only find pain.

To experience so much, so young
What is one to think of the future?
I know I can’t expect to have all the answers, but
How do life’s experiences fit into God’s plan?

And we know that in all things God works
God works for the good of those who love him!
Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God
From the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!
