Be Not Afraid ____ AKSHR

Be Not Afraid

 

Black waters, deep and dark and still . . .

all men have passed this way, or will.

You have been told the story.

I have been called upon to tell it again.

You are on a journey from which 

you will not return.

Be not afraid.

Your hands were made to hold;

to steady and to heal.

To mend what is torn and broken. 

To caress the brow of your beloved 

dying sweetly in your arms,

and cradle them into their final rest. 

No matter how hard, or far, 

or long the path may be:

Be not afraid.
