Tears of grief stream down their faces,
Mirroring the falling rain.
As a mother and her little girl lie dead,
having been slain.
I cannot possibly comprehend the family's pain.
Or begin to know why such a senseless tragedy
has happened again.
But in the midst of this fallen world of tragedies and grief,
I must hold fast to my belief.
That God is still God.
That God still loves.
And He knows how to bring good
out of
unspeakable
loss.

Written in the wake of hearing the tragic news that five-year-old Taliyah Marsman's body has been found after a three day amber alert in Calgary, Alberta (where I live). My prayers and condolences go out to the family and friends of Taliyah and her mother Sara Bailie. I grieve along with them over this terrible loss.
