Wales' Tales 090214



The time that hurts the human heart
is when it’s left alone,
when no one else is there to care,
no voice, no hugs, no tone
of caring words or cheerful laugh,
no hope to find a friend,
a darkened tunnel lies ahead
that seems to have no end.
It happens when a loved one dies,
Or when you move away
From those who shared the walk of life
On every passing day.
Or when you go to a new school
And leave your friends behind,
You never know who you will meet,
You hope they will be kind.
For some the solitude is good,
But most prefer the crowd,
Where people smile, laugh and talk
Where life is warm and loud.
But there are always times ahead
When we will stand as one,
When tragedy or happenstance
Steps in to end our fun.
To be alone and on our own
Is scary at its best
It forces us to reassess.
It puts us to the test.
To find the strength to carry on,
To sit alone and think,
To seek new ways of getting through,
To pull back from the brink.
We need to know that in this life
No matter where we roam,
There is a place that calls to us
That’s just as close as home.
And at our side unseen, yet there
Is one who will not cease
To grant his presence in our lives,
Our friend, the Prince of…
                                    Peace,
