This morning I asked specifically for words to say to a friend who is dealing with difficult physical challenges. I did not expect a poem in response, but the spirit world gave me a beautiful one anyway. The words apply to anyone in the same position, so I share them here now in the hopes that they will bring peace to others going through hard times …

Know that you are loved.
We are aware of your troubles
And bring you healing
For all with which you have been dealing.

Such a burden you have borne.
Your life feels as if it has been torn.
Fear not what lies ahead.
Worry not, “Will I be dead?”

Place your focus on your children and their love.
Feel the peace from up above.
Find within the strength to trust.
To feel the peace, this is a must.

Trust that you in time will see
Your place in all eternity.
These troubles are a mere distraction
From life’s greatest satisfaction.

Sharing moments with those who mean the most
Will awaken in your heart the Holy Ghost.
And there you’ll also find the strength
To go to whatever length.

For no matter what to you does come,
All you reap is just a sum
Of all the love that you do share.
May you always find it there.

There … in your heart where God does dwell.
Even when your life it seems a Hell.
Go inside and seek the peace.
There you’ll find the blessed release.
