Nights are welcome
as pain subsides into the darkness of sleep.
Rest the soul that ye might have peace
for in thy heart is truth.

Mornings pounding with the heart
as hands wring and sweat
Peace my son, my child, for I
am here.

Praying for peace
for that patch of clear earth free
of troubles and enduring fear
that rest might heal

Lay down my son,  
let the earth’s warmth comfort
and give you strength as
stillness pervades the soul
and tears fall free

Go forward my child
for thy mission awaits thee
for thee are chosen to be
the messenger.

Love me Lord
As I love you, for I need you
I need your comfort
at this time, this day.

For I am alone in the darkness of day

Barry, this is a powerful post...we want to accept His hand, then turn it away in the light.  That is when we need it most.  A very good, thoughtful peace in this peace...if you will let the light within...it will hold...

Hello Barry

It was so obvious that these words came from deep inside one of the most loving souls I know.  So beautiful and heartfelt were your words.

Take care......Sue
