A Poem: Blessing For The Brokenhearted

I’ve kept a little notebook by my rocking chair for decades.

It’s where I jot down bits from whatever I may be reading that touch my heart.

When I was younger and focused on raising children the pages were filled with inspirational and aspirational quotes, Bible verses and poems.

Now the pages are full of laments, reminders of life’s brevity and blessings.

Here is one I really love.

❤

Sometimes I run across a poem that is absolutely perfect.  

This is one of those.

This is a record of my grief journey and a look into the life I didn't choose.
