¨LIFE GOES ON¨

They say ¨Life goes on¨ - and they´re right.
But not mine.
At least not in the way it used to.
There is supposed to be a ¨new normal¨ here somewhere...
But nothing is normal!
Nothing will EVER be the same again.

They say ¨Life goes on¨ - and they´re right.
But I don´t like it!
I feel like everything should stop with us,
Respectfully wait for us to be ready...
But they don´t.
Almost nothing waits for you.

They say ¨Life goes on¨- and they´re right.
And I can´t stop it.
I wish I could freeze myself in time...
And let all of us grieve & change & rest
Without falling behind,
Without missing so many things.

They say ¨Life goes on¨ - and they´re right.
But perhaps it´s ok...
Maybe it´s part of what gives you bits of momentum
to move forward, to keep you from becoming stuck.
Maybe its tension is actually secretly a part of the healing,
Mysteriously keeping you in the lifestream.

They say ¨Life goes on¨ - and they´re right.
Because the ONE who IS LIFE goes on forever.
He is Life itself and lives outside of time.
So excuse me while I hang outside of this life & its time for a while
And receive all I need from my True Life Giver.
Until I am ready to intersect once again with the ¨Life that goes on¨...

They say ¨Life goes on¨ - and they´re right.
But so will I.
In my own way and time.
The way that is right for me,
The time that is right for our family,
With the Life-Giver who makes ¨Life go on¨ within me...

...it´s gonna be alright.
