Prolificacy of lament

by Joel Howard

How lament laments

How prolific she is

Weeping every day

If we would give her way

Many her woes

Not few, her sighs

Drenched and stained

From tears, her eyes

Daily bearing

Jesus' caring

Indicates to me

Lament's prolificacy

Fear makes me

And generations before

Want to wait

Once in a lifetime, implore

But one who cries

Waits not to die

A good shepherd sighs

Right by our side

Why wait to weep?

Why stay here, unbelieving?

Fast, weep and mourn

Heart's garments torn!

Fast, weep and pray

Jesus may have his way

If we align today,

Give lament her way
