"Pain of Yesterday" Inspired by Finding Us:

Pain of Yesterday

I thought I had lost you

and needed someone to blame.

I turned my back on my faith

and rejected every sign of hope.

I didn’t know who I was

without you

without Him

without the future I thought was mine.

I thought I had lost my sister-in-law to death

and my brother to grief.

I thought my family was broken beyond repair

and that I would always be surrounded by sorrow.

I met you by chance

and you changed everything—

death

sorrow

my purpose in life.

One life has become

two on a journey,

three mourning souls have become

four fast friends,

and our joy now together

leaves behind the pain of yesterday.
