Tears

In the Valley of the Shadows

When tears fall

They wash up on the shore of your soul

When you watch dear ones grieve

When they say their last goodbye to their mother

The tears and grief come in waves

Crashing upon the shores of their souls

When all you can do is watch

When all you can do is hold them

When all you can do is pray

When you see the fragility of life

When you witness the comfort of the Spirit

The ground you stand upon is holy

The ground you stand upon is sacred

Lord, in your mercy, hear the cry of their heart

Lord, in your mercy, hear this humble prayer

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us/Them Peace
