Grieve Not

grieve not
for what God has taken away
from you

grieve not
for what you will miss for another
hundred days

God knows each missing lock of
the hair
and for love God replaces what was
missing
with a thousand loves

For how can God ever
see a tear falling from your eyes
without giving it
a replacement of a rain of joy
sometime
