Comfort

I am aware that words will never suffice We stand desparately One in front of the other Your face blemished with tears So what did you do? Asked the me, I once was What will you do? Begged the me, I shall become What are you doing? I urged myself I stepped towards her and wrapped her in my arms I had no words to offer So I gave myself instead My gift to her A presence I held the love of my eternity as she shed her grief In my silence I professed my love for her In my silence I revealed to her God's comfort

An incredible piece... well written, felt, and full of serious emotion that can rarely be matched, in times of need. Pretty little baby flowers, grow along the side of the path, just for those that know and understand, "suffering". Ann
