Because

Sometimes words, however strong, 

cannot contain the emotions 

I feel when I look around me

and know that my soul is 

from somewhere else.

And I intend to be there. 

My heart is full

but it's also more than full

because words cannot explain

the well of gratitude I feel 

for a man I know I knew 

and I'm trying to know again. 

He lives, and I do too. 

That alone brings me closer to 

this man I know I knew. 

He lives, and I can too.

When Mary came to the tomb, she found the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. She ran to the disciples crying, "They have taken away the Lord…and we know not where they have laid him" (John 20:2). Peter and John immediately ran to the tomb.
