Gentle as a whisper told.

I wrote this in 2009 for someone special who had lost a loved one, i was honoured that she saw fit to have it read at the memorial service, since that time it has brought comfort on other sad occasions, sometimes words really can say much more and people find comfort in them.

Gentle as a Whisper told.


Gentle as a whisper told
Soft as new born babe to hold

As quiet as the hush of prayer
As gentle as a breath of air

As strong as tallest forest pine
As safe the hands of father time

As proud as any lion born
As sure the Rose with prickly thorn

As fine a gift that God could bring
As fresh the flowing mountain spring

Your heart was pure as driven snow
It's thoughts alone for me to know

So having you to hold and love
Was like a blessing from above,

I'm left behind but still content
Knowing you were heaven sent.

In darkest days ahead of me
Beside me you will always be,

So tho your leavings tough to bear
Inside I know you're always there
