Carry me

Carry me when my spirit feels so weary

And my body is tired from lack of rest

And fighting inner demons

Help me to silence my head

On the days it tries to lead me down

Dark pathways

Let me remember you somehow kept me safe

Most of the time

Through all of those years

And even gave me moments of joy

And infinite peace

Remind me when I forget

That grief can be navigated and it will ease

With the passage of time

It is just that sometimes we have to face

Dark truths

But as we do

Let us always pray

That your unconditional love

Will help us to love ourselves and each other better

And with time and patience

Carry us home

To peace
