 I wrote this in response to a request earlier this year.
Words of Comfort


Let not winds of time erase your memories
Like windswept sands upon a lonesome beach
Loved-one’s, now forever sleeping
In tranquility they rest in God’s own care

Nor should’st the clouds silently a-passing
As daytime then turns slowly into night
And all coloured photographic memories
Become but darkened negatives in your anxious mind

And if morning mists appear ephemeral
Fading, as does the Spring’s last flower
Think not of melancholic sadness
But of the joyous days gone by

And when treasured thoughts of love are fickle
And appear as distant shadows of your mind
Let not your silent anguish sadden you
When the time is near to join your love on high

If you believe God has forsaken you -
Drawn his blinds unto your visions
Pause awhile and look to the heavens
And you will know He’s there

Allow Him then to turn the switch
That will illuminate your eyes
And you will see the wondrous sights
When God turns on His lights

Sorry about the treatments, Harry, but I'm glad you're feeling good today.

Words of Comfort - really hit home, Harry.  And I must say, that's been my experience in dealing with loss.  It brought tears to my eyes - thank you so much.

XOXO
