Even if your heart
is breaking ;
Trust me.
Even if you
no longer feel
my presence,
It is because
you didn't notice:
I am there.
Only in stillness
and quiet understanding
Can you know
me as I am.
My silence is
my way
of strengthening you.
It is my way
of encouraging you
to take that
bold step of
faith toward me.
Only my touch
can ease
the pain you
are feeling now.
Even if your heart
refused to be encouraged,
Take hold of my hand
and walk with me
And let me love you.
Let me teach
you to love.
Let me teach
you to laugh
And be happy,
To forget everything
that has passed.
You are mourning
for what is not
worthy of grief.
Let me teach you
to build on what
you have experienced,
Instead of bending
under the load of it.
