The Doctor’s Letter of Sympathy to his patient,
On the loss of her newborn
Dear Carol,
I have looked for words of hope in such a time of despair.
I’ve wondered in my mind, how life can be so unkind, so unfair.
I sometimes think, does anyone in this world truly care.
Then far in the distance, on the horizon, I see
Someone with a gentle, loving smile coming slowly towards me
I hear a gentle whisper, so very, very quiet, like the rustle of Autumn leaves, like the rolling of the green-blue seas.
“All who are burdened, worry not, take solace in me.
For my promise is for now and for all eternity.
There is no death or sorrow, I cannot with time relieve,
For those who know my promise, in whose hearts truly do believe.
I know your pain & sorrow, I know why you cry & grieve.
I hear every word & prayer, like the rustle of the leaves.
I hear every whisper in the rolling of the seas.”
A fine mist surrounds, the air becomes again calm,
A tiny voice is saying softly, “Don’t worry or fear for me.”
