A Kindred's Poem

Just had news that a dear kindred of mine lost her mama last night.

My heart aches thinking of her pain.  It was so sudden.  Such a shock to the family.

I wrote a poem for her.

My dear friend lost her mama today

I cannot be there with her

I cannot take away her pain

But I can always pray. 

Pray for strength in the days to come

Guidance, understanding and love

But most of all a peace.

It will come.  I know.

I've never met this kindred of mine,

but, we would know each other!

My heart if her heart.

Her pain lives inside me.
