They showered upon us
Pure warmth and love
Through their beautiful string
Of words,
And empathy,
In those wintry hours
Of pain and break;
their gentle calm smiles
Proved to be a soothing
Summer delight,

But , oh, how little were we,
To not see the pain
they kept hidden
beneath their gentle smiles;
How little were we to not see
Those angels ,
their benevolence,
theirs ,who healed us,
And always would.
