The Reason for Healing

 

There are meetings of the heart,

There are meetings of the soul,

Which are destined to be,

When hearts are free, 

To be led by the spirit,

To where one must be,

Like a survivor of cancer,

Who returned to a clinic,

Who sat by a woman,

Missing her hair,

And in silence she offered

Her hand of support,

Which the other woman took,

As in silence they wept,

In silence they bonded,

Without words they shared,

Because sharing is believing,

That we can give love,

That we can be led by God,

To be where we must be,

To see who we must see,

Lifting a broken soul,

That we did not know,

Making our own pain a blessing,

To heal another heart,

A gift we can always impart,

Making our trials a miracle,

When we are brave to step forward,

Looking into another soul,

To overcome pain together,

Which is the reason for healing.
