The Whisper

I heard a whisper today as I thought about you
It was a whisper of Love due to what you’re going through
Though Love's touch felt in silence penetrates deeper than talk
I felt led to tell you, “You’re not alone on this walk”

My limited words could never express
The unfailing nature of Love’s sweet caress
But I felt the nudge...heard the whisper to reach out to you
With empathy, caring and a heart hug or two

What’s stirring within me, words just can’t convey
The limits of language leaves much left to say
But I’ll do all I’m able, do the best I can do
And speak from my heart as I reach out to you

My prayers, they are with you and your family who mourn
That you might see the rose and not feel the thorn
Although I know little, what I do know is this
God’s Love, will and Grace…they never ever miss

On this human pathway, emotions get stirred
Pain, grief and sadness can make “knowing” seem blurred
Yet God’s always faithful, all things work for good
Amongst those who precede us, it’s clearly understood

What’s often viewed as death is truly new life
No pain, fear or sadness, the absence of strife
There’s awe, peace and comfort and a heavenly view
So I rejoice for your Momma yet my heart aches for you

I've been down this pathway and I do know your pain
Yet the Light shines so brightly beyond all the rain
So with compassion and caring I offer to you
My thoughts, love and comfort as this storm passes through

The wisdom is timeless the promise holds true
Love’s healing touch, grace and guidance is all around you
And those who precede us and step through the veil
Would joyfully tell us Love always prevails

Though absent in body, our loved ones remain
The connection never severed because Love never wanes
In heart, soul and spirit, though they watch from the throne
They’re always here with us and we're never alone

Though my words leave a void and there’s much left to say
My heart says “enough”, for you do know the way
I just wanted to tell you that I’m with you today
In heart, mind and spirit as you walk this pathway
