Tragedies Can Be Blessings

     By Bud Lemire on March 7, 2009

 
Sometimes the normal things are taken for granted
Exactly wherever our feet are planted
In a place where we think we’ll always be
Never thinking about an upcoming tragedy
 
But life has a way of hitting us at a time
When we aren’t really looking for any sign
A fire strikes, a flood happens, or a tornado
It happens whenever, you just never know
 
The things you treasured the most are taken away
And it could happen on any old day
Just when things seem so bleak
And you feel the tragedy has left you weak
 
There is hope
To help you cope
There is faith
For you to embrace
 
There is more to life than the material things
It’s the people you touch, and the feelings it brings
So often we live to have more to own
But in the end, we leave this world alone
 
We can’t take them with us, when we go
But we carry their memories, within our soul
The tragedy has come, and made us stronger
Even though we don’t have them any longer
Sometimes the tragedies can be blessings
As we learn about life through all of our lessons



Still a loss is a loss, and we wish we still had them. But our soul learns to go on. With hope, faith, and love as our guide.
