Began to list the names of new
Widows and widowers so I would
Remember to pray for them.
The section has expanded to
Fifty two entries.
Each name represents a broken
Heart, a fellow griever beginning an
Unwanted journey.
It always pains me to add a new
Person to my list because I know what
Lies ahead for the wounded one.
We're a group that no one
Wants to join.
But today I had no choice but to
Add Mary Ellen to the roster.
I pray that she can sense that
She's not alone.
Those of us who are farther along
Are here to encourage her.
But more importantly, I pray that
He who heals broken hearts will
Tend to hers.
