Thankful

As she realized what might have been, she grew to be thankful for what was.

So VERY true, these words. God orders all toward good, but as the next post says, it is often hard for us to be comforted by this knowledge.

Two Alike

What happiness a friend, a fellow kind,
whose gentle hands attend a heart entwined,
for, long as loving likens two,
they consummate a life anew,
aligned;

but none may know the ties, when so profane,
and none, with open eyes, will ascertain
the bond, invisible, but true,
that suffering cannot subdue,nor strain;

and so, this holy whole, incorporate
and incorporeal, is our oblate,to lift an everlasting hue
for treasures that we hold and do
await.
