This is a very special poem to me, it was written for me
by Francine. I would like to share this poem with all
of you. I have Chronic Pain from a spinal injury that
took place six years ago. Surgery did not help, pain is a part
of my life now. So this poem is for anyone who suffers with
pain. If you have a friend or a loved one who has pain in their
life, you might want to send them this card......
Thank you Francine, for your beautiful poetry, your friendship
and your heart.....
~Hear the peaceful quiet
Of the night that falls with ease
Remember this sweet beauty
As you close your eyes appeased
For someone out there tries to hear
This very special sound
But pain and hurt is in their soul
Their peace cannot be found
They suffer with such dignity
They take all pain in stride
They offer it for something else
This pain so deep inside
What special gifts they offer
With their body wracked with pain
They continue to go on
In silence there's no blame
What very special souls these are
That suffer day by day
Never do complain about
Misfortune in their way
I think about them every day
I say a prayer or two
That when the night does fall
They can feel the peace I do
For they are so deserving of a night
That's filled with peace
A night where they can sleep through
With laughter in the rain
Just one night that they can feel
The peace without a pain
So pray for all these people
Who have so much strength in love
I hope they feel the comfort from
The heaven high above
May an angel sit beside them
To brush their furrowed brow
May she kiss away their hurt
Hold them very closely now
For although they suffer daily
They are eagles high in flight
Showing us with dignity
How to greet the morning's light.~
