A heartfelt poem to give Sandra comfort during this difficult time. While it cannot take away the pain of loss, it can comfort Sandra to know that you are thinking of her.
Blessings,
Mary

This is so compassionate and caring, Roy... I'm sorry you've lost a brother, as Sandra has. It's so fulfilling to see the FanStory family step up and offer condolences through our passion for writing!

Blessings to you, yours...

Hello Roy,
thanks for sharing this excellent poem for Sandra. I heard recently about the loss of her brother and sent her a message. Years ago I lost my youngest brother in a car accident, and while the pain is intense at the time, it does grow milder over the years.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Beautifully and so eloquently written, Roy! You remind us that even in the grieving, we know God is our Joy and He will bring comfort to Sandra and her family. My favorite lines were:
"But light all darkness will repeal,
and seize what healing's end will seal.
For in your loss compassion's sown,
within your heart you're not alone."

Roy, you've written such a comforting poem for our dear friend Sandra. You've pointed out that joy comes with the morning, and that grief has its end. You were also able to share your own story about your loss. I'm sure the poem and your experience has helped her find peace amidst the storm of grief.

Take care,
Rhonda

This is beautiful, Roy, and very consoling. I am positive Sandra will be able to feel the peace and a compassionate comfort exuding from your poetic lines. It is such a terrible time for her with the loss of a beloved brother. The support from so many FS members is a wonderful thing.
