Eulogy

As minds travel down a sorrowful road, There are words to ease the pain of those who mourn To lift spirits, and lighten the load Final thoughts for hearts so torn A little laughter in the midst of grief Beautiful memories as stories are told Scriptural verses to strenghten belief As onto faith our hearts do hold Grief will cause hearts to be broken Wherever earthly journeys cause us to roam There is comfort when kind words are spoken When inevitably, the journey takes us 'home' 2-12-2023 Writing Challenge - E Words Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France

Those scripture verses like ointment to the broken-hearted. Sometimes letting us know we are not alone in the pain. God bless!

A wonderful poem. Anyone who lost a dear one ought to console himself, especially with the Bible.

Yes, " There is comfort when kind words are spoken." This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. Many wonderful blessings to you, my dear friend. Hugs, Brandy
