Only by the hand of God – v2



a word about how we know
God is with us
a hand upon our back
in our time of struggle

an image of Grammy
frozen in her chair
knowing only God’s hand
raised her from that seat

when the pastor called her forward
to kneel at the coffin
to say goodbye to her youngest
to let her go to heaven
