A Timely Find ~

So Saturday I was putting  away some things that had found temporary residence on my 

guest room bed.  A spot I tend to put things that I'm not sure where its' home will be...

I was putting something in the nightstand drawer when I found a little photo book

 that my Mom must have put there when staying with us prior to her surgery....

She passed away on Mother's Day of 2012.

I'm sad to say I have many friends that have lost their Mom's or Dad's in the very recent past.

A sorrow we now share.

I mention this because of what I discovered tucked in my Mom's little photo book.

A beautiful Poem handwritten on a sheet of paper. 

 I'm not sure who's beautiful handwriting it is,

but I knew when I read it that it was something I  should share.

To One In Sorrow

By Grace Crowell

Let me come in where you are weeping friend,

and let me take your hand. 

I who have known a sorrow as yours can understand.

Let me come in, I would be very still beside you in your grief.

I would not bid you cease your weeping friend, tears bring relief.

Let me come in I would only breath a prayer and hold your hand,

  for I have known a sorrow such as yours and understand.

Life is a flame that is always burning itself out.

But catches fire again,

every time a child is born.

Friend if you are one who has lost a loved one,

I understand...

Yet now reminded,

every time a child is born.... is what echos from my heart..
