The Companion  Every day Sarah Jones took a walk in the park she'd stare at the initials carved in the bark. Talking to her companion while feeding the doves telling the same story of long lost love. Her companion didn't speak, but listened with care to all of the words that Sarah wanted to share. Sarah spoke softly of a man she once knew with a smile so bright, and eyes oh so blue. Talking for hours, or just bits at a time her companion listened, never seeming to mind. They always found their way to her favorite tree the ducks on the lake she wanted to see. She'd speak of life, of love and such things often saying "You never know what life might just bring." Every day then Sarah would say her goodbye always adding "Meet me tomorrow, or at least please try." Then one day Sarah went to her favorite tree although her companion was no where to be. Suddenly then from the corner of Sarah's eye an elderly man touched the initials and started to cry. With trembling fingers she reached to touch his hand her own had once matched his wedding band. He said he couldn't believe it was true after all of these years and they embraced through the happiest of tears. Gone they had said, but she never gave up hope her companion had helped her learn how to cope. She had found the strength to travel lifes way believing again she would see him some day.  Then Sarah prayed, " I know you can hear, and I know your lingering somewhere near." Then through the tears on her face softly glistening she whispered "Thank you Lord, for always listening." please feel free to visit the lovely graphics at www.espectro.com The greatest beauty on earth, is found in the hearts of those who love.... |

I've read and heard it said many many times that with God delay is not denial and I do think that this story or real life occurrence, whichever the case might be, is a real display of that scripture in motion. A very tender message here I think of continued hope, endless love and true honest to heart devotion and, yes, oh yes, He does certainly always listen. Amen. I enjoyed reading your poem very much and also thank you so very much for sharing it here. -Bob |

God listens, I know. But for a while, He lets you feel your entire dependency on Him, so when He answers it is always to your best interests. To His "favored ones", to show how much He loves you, often He makes you wait and wait for His answer. That way He knows you love Him back. Next time when you feel He's letting you wait forever, be comforted that He's just around also waiting to give you the right answer at the right time. |

Absolutely beautifully told. I have heard a similiar story so many times at the senior's home where two young lovers got separated during the war, only to find each other years later. Sometimes I question his judgement and other times when miracles happen, I sure change back to acceptance. Lovely Donna. Carpe' Diem |
