Victor is one of the leaders of Foundation For His Ministry’s home for needy children in Baja, Mexico. His older brother and younger brother both died unexpectedly from disease last week. Both were in the prime of life. This lament is for him, and for all those who grieve the loss of family members who died all too soon.

Oh, Victor, burdened soul, hear the echoes of your sorrow,

A lament unfurls for you, in the shadows of tomorrow.

In the chill of night, where grief’s tendrils entwine,

Two brothers lost, their lights ceased to shine.

The elder, a guardian, a beacon of strength,

His presence once towering, now lost at length.

In the tapestry of memories, his laughter did ring,

Now silenced by fate, an unyielding sting.

The younger, full of promise, with dreams yet to dream,

Snatched by illness’s hand, no more songs left to sing.

In the bloom of youth, his flame is now out

He had great potential, of that there’s no doubt.

Oh, Victor, bearer of a heavy burden’s toll,

In the wake of loss, may your wounded heart God console.

May the Good Lord above bring you peace in your plight,

Guiding you through this great darkness of night.

Though tears may fall like rain upon earth,

Know that love will endure, beyond death’s mirth.

In the depths of despair, may hope’s ember burn bright,

As you navigate this labyrinth of sorrow’s deep blight.

Grieve, dear Victor, for the loss that you bear,

But know you’re not alone in this world of care.

In the embrace of loved ones, find strength to stand,

For in unity, we weather grief’s tightening band.

Let memories be the balm to soothe your unrest,

And may healing grace unfold deep in your chest.

Though scars may linger, and pain may persist,

In time, may peace blossom in the gray mist.

Farewell, dear brothers, to your restful sleep,

In Victor’s heart, your memories he’ll eternally keep.

May angels guide you to a tranquil shore,

Where suffering ends, and love reigns evermore.

In the shadow of sorrow, where grief’s weight does press,

One finds strength in scripture, where the Spirit does caress.

From Psalms, let words flow, like a gentle stream,

To soothe the aching heart, and mend the broken dream.

“In the day of my trouble I call upon you,

for you answer me, LORD.” -( Psalm 86:7) I know that is true.

Oh, Victor, in your anguish, let these words take flight,

In God’s embrace, you’ll find refuge in the night.

In the depths of despair, His mercy abides,

A beacon of hope, in sorrow’s strong tide.

As you journey through the valley, may faith be your guide,

In His steadfast love, may you ever confide.

For though shadows may lengthen, and trials may abound,

His grace, it will lift you, where comfort is found.

Let this verse be a lantern, it will give you insight,

A reminder of His presence, in sorrow’s silent night.

In tender whispers of prayer, you will find release,

And in arms of His mercy, may you experience peace.
