Faithful in December

December is when it happened
It's when my world came down crashing
It is when the persistent pain
came and decided to stay
December is when she died
and cold and frost took over
It is when white covers all the colors
and lights are used to bring back joy

December is when I cried for hours
and sat in utter silence
It's when I was at a loss for words
and felt completely hopeless
But now it is April
when there is life and fresh air and colors
And April is when I realized
That You were still faithful
in December.

You let the lights
bring back the joy
and You're the One who
made the snow sparkle
You were there for me
when I sat in utter silence
And You held me
when I felt all alone

even in December
