At times words utterly fail us,
On these tools we've come to trust.
Yet at times, they're not enough,
Especially when the goings rough.

When death invades our mortal sphere,
Robbing us of someone dear
Who can say words that would express,
The depth of feelings, within the breast?

When we see another hurting,
Love's concern to us alerting
Yet for all we feel inside,
Words disappear we would confide.

Some things are much too deep for words,
Which are felt instead of heard.
So we must rely on such,
Express through grief, or tear, or tough.

LORD, help translate what we feel,
That to the hurting, it may be real.
A true reflection of our care,
Wordless, but present, in heartfelt prayer!

[Dedicated to my friend Sherry,
in the recent loss of her dear
Mother by cancer.--God Bless You,
Dear Friend,]

David:  You have written an expressive poem and it's so true.  Many times, we wish we could truly tell someone how we feel and words just fail us.  It's so hard to know at times what to say and I personally, always feel I am not saying enough.

(tears fall down my cheeks) God Bless You, sweet friend, I understand how you feel and I believe this feeling is so very natural, for I have experienced losses too and sometimes I say nothing and it is not because I don't care, but because I need time to gather my thoughts together so then I can easily sympathize and reach out to them! (big hugggssssss) This is sooooooo wonderfully heartfelt, sweet friend, my heart cries out to your friends loss, I send angels to guide her and you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet David, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
