For my friend Sabrina...

In sympathy
Oh Lord,
with loving words
I hold this one
up close
to Your face…
the one whose
heart has broken
with sadness pouring out

Carry this one today
as  memories
flood  the heart…
and unwelcome grief
invades the space
reserved for
rejoicing

Comfort this one
with your sweet love
and assurance
that You are
everything
as  the Giver
of this gift…
that,  for now,
appears to be lost,
but  will be
given again
one day
in paradise…

where no one
is ever
lost
