Thank You Friend
I never came to you, my friend,
and went away without
some new enrichment of the heart;
More faith and less of doubt,

To One In Sorrow
Let me come in where you are weeping, friend,
And let me take your hand.
I, who have known a sorrow such as yours,
Can understand. -
This, Too, Will Pass
This, too, will pass.
O heart, say it over and over,
Out of your deepest sorrow,
out of your deepest grief,
