I am not home yet

I have not lost God.
I have lost my brother, my childhood companion, my adulthood confidant.
I have not lost grace.
It is in the midst of grief, mourning, and pain.
I have not lost faith.
I have reassurance in the life-everlasting.
I have not lost hope.
I have prayers never-ceasing.
I have not lost love.
I have family, friends, and puppies.
I am not lost.
I’m just not home yet.
I have not lost God.
He never leaves me. He gives me faith, hope, and love.
