Sometimes We Feel Alone

Sometimes we feel alone in the world
losing a loved one, enduring a hardship,
experiencing an illness in the family.
Roadblocks in our normally smooth lives.
But God and Nature surround us
easing our burdens and healing our hearts.
Time and patience become our friends.
They hold our hands
and quietly begin to fill our hearts
with love and joy once again.
