Garden Sanctuary

You who walk, maybe with troubled thoughts, come, enter here
and rest;
And may the sweet serenity of growing things,
And the heavenly peace be mirrored in your soul.
God bless them and please ease their pain
WHISPERS OF OUR HEART

What can we do
When one comes our way
And wants help
To get through the day?

What advice can we give
That will help them survive
The loneliness of loss
The final good bye?

What can we say
That will help someone new
Who has to walk this road
Like me and like you?

How do we explain
That we know their pain?
How can we bring comfort
Like a soft summer rain?

What can we whisper
From the depths of our hearts
And let them know we understand
The feeling of a broken heart

I think we can give
By lending an ear
Listening to what we once said
When we faced that first year

I think we can offer
From the window of our soul
The wisdom we've learned
As we've grown old

To know you're not alone
To know others care
Can be more helpful
Than anything else, anywhere

To hug a new parent
Who's walking this road
And whisper "I know how you feel"
I've been where you still have to go

Whispers of our hearts
A hug and an ear
Can make a big difference
For someone this year

When your heart is open
And someone knows that you care
It only takes a whisper
To help a parent somewhere

Take their hand in kindness
Help them walk this road
Because we've already been where
They still have to go

Speak Lovingly

Speak lovingly and kindly
While here on earth we stay
Our life is but a shadow
That soon will glide away...




One little word of kindness
On some poor heart may fall
Like beams from yonder golden sun
That brightly shines for all...




Speak lovingly and kindly
O let the task be ours
To scatter by the wayside
Not thorns, but smiling flowers...




Though crowned with peace and plenty
Our happy homes may be
Remember those around us
Less favored far than we...




Speak lovingly and kindly
For He our Lord we know
To us will show the kindness
That we to others show.
