Reach to Heaven, my Grief

Written by:Jenny Maddux


Reach to Heaven, My Grief

The rain is falling down
Just as pure as tears from heaven
As if my sorrow has finally reached up high
After so many years of grieving

I wept because I was forsaken
Abandoned by the ones I held dear
I wept again 'cause no one heard me
My pleas for love fell on deaf ears

But now it seems I was mistaken
And I was the one who did abandon
It comes to find that I was blind
And slapped away love's outstretched hand

So I am still weeping, but for different reasons
My sisters will carry my tears up the sky
How long till this grief reaches heaven?
Or is that rain already falling down?
