A Soothing Word in the Night

A Soothing Word in the Night

To the soul burdened in the dark of night,

A quiet guest has stolen its light.

A sorrow within the heart it does keep,

Silently, while the world is asleep.

I said, Do not fear to speak your mind,

For in words, a gentle ease you will find.

Your story came forth, a memory's sound,

Of a cherished soul, on hallowed ground.

Do not blame your heart for what was to be,

For destiny's path is not ours to see.

A bond of spirit is forever sealed,

More than any meeting that could have been revealed.

In every prayer, a thought so sincere,

Love reaches them, and dispels all fear.

Do not carry a weight that isn't yours to bear,

And fill your own path with light and with care.

In patience, there's strength, a quiet art,

And kindness is a balm for a weary heart.
