Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

The Gift

"I feel you are troubled," 
Said the traveller on my road.
"Your burden, it seems heavy
Let me help you with your load."

"So kind" I said, but no
"It is too vast I fear,
Heavily it weighs upon my heart,
For one no longer here."

"I know" said he, but here am I
I come to ease your pain,
Worry not, she waits for you
You will see her again."

My eyes, they cried a thousand tears
My pain, I felt it lift.
The traveller though, he was gone
I thanked God for his gift.

An angel, he must have been
He knew of my despair.
I felt him reach into my heart,
His words, lay comfort there.
