Yesterday……
all our troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as if they’re here to stay, oh I believe in yesterday….. echoes in my ears. I hear the music he plays on his guitar, and her sweet voice floating through the air, but my mind is racing with so many happy thoughts of yesterday, of when myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope and I met, road trips we took, music we experienced, feeling safe in each other’s arms, laughing till our sides hurt and talking into the wee hours of the morning.
I am still deep in thought, when I hear her say I want you to meet my friend who also just lost her husband. My heart breaks for her as I know what she is feeling, and am thankful to learn that she already knows our Lord who lightens our load. And as she tells me their story, I can see that even though it is very different than ours, there are so many similarities. Both myDarlin’ and he were able to attend the wedding where love begins anew, share the love of music with loved ones and to have the final celebration of life fitting of their love for friends and family.
The music continues, as does life and the pain lessens a little bit with each passing day. If you wake up and don't want to smile, If it takes just a little while. Open your eyes and look at the day, You'll see things in a different way.
I tell her of the quilts another friend is making for each of us and she smiles as she knows that this will make it just a tiny bit easier going through his shirts. And one day soon, she will be able to wrap her quilt around her like a big hug from him.
As I open my eyes and look at the day, I know that it is different than yesterday and can hear myDarlin’ say, Keep looking up Baby…. and I know that we will be together soon for this life is just a blink in the eyes of eternity.
I am grateful today dear Lord for meeting another sister in the Lord, and I pray you to give her strength and understanding as she begins this journey.
