‘Till you have cried the whole night through
And awakened still to sorrow
Until your heart is broken in two
And only pain awaits tomorrow.
‘Till you are awash in tears
And can’t see any sunshine
Then you don’t know what grief is
Or what deep pain is mine.
But those who know…how warm their hugs
How comforting their presence
How their few words can touch the heart
And ease the ache and suffering.
Like the Balm of Gilead
They heal the souls deep aching
And tears subside and one now sees
A new dawn is awakening.
