A Pastor's Sorrow
by Michael Doyle

Sitting in church bringing our last weeks
To hear the Lord as the pastor speaks
Emotions felt can be good and bad
The moments of life can be happy and sad

Moments of sorrow rock us to our core
These are the moments that become the door
These allow us to enter and to know the score
The Lord comes to tell us, we can handle more

Sometimes, we have to let life fly
It's okay to fall down and to cry
Whatever our conditions that we know
These are the ways of life that help us grow

These are the times we will need to pray
Uncertain of exactly what we should say
Even the pastor breaks down in sorrow
Knowing life presses on into our tomorrows
