A Friend Shared this Poem With Me

Is it OK to Cry?

by Paul Leaman

Is it ok to cry,
When our loved ones die?
Is it ok to grieve,
When they through death leave?

Is it wrong to shed a tear,
When they are no longer near?
Should we try to be strong,
And act like they're not really gone?

Jesus didn't chide Mary when she cried,
When her brother Lazarus died;
In fact Jesus was grieved and cried too,
Yet He knew what He would do.

He knew He would raise Lazarus again,
And still He grieved for His friend;
No, it's not wrong to cry,
When loved ones say goodbye.
