They show such love upon their faces, a smile that warms the bitter cold. A gentle whisper spoken to calm the weary soul, or a helping hand to reach another. Random acts of kindness & simple words of encouragement to meet the needs of others. Upon their knees they kneel & pray, to find the strength at the Masters feet. Not afraid to show they care with open arms they hold the ones who can’t stand strong. Perhaps a loving father, devoted mother, big brother or sweet sister. Maybe a brave son or a thoughtful daughter; those who always care & only see the best in us. Could be a trusted comrade, kindred spirit, loyal love, or faithful friend; ones committed to our friendship to defend & always honor us. We know them well, they know us better & yet … they dearly love us still. Their presence fills an empty room, it leaves a lasting imprint to who we are today; we feel their distant absence when they’re not near or present. The precious moments shared together aren’t lost or fade away. Carried deep within our hearts we keep these lovely memories, gems of beauty, timeless treasures. Walks in the park, table top talks, strolls on the beach or a moonlight drink. Never a tear goes unnoticed or a call has gone unanswered, by these gentle ones in our life. When hard times come & the night is long we know who we can count on to always be here for us. Though hardships weigh unanswered questions or quaint occasions bring joyous celebrations, these ones will stand beside us & brighten life’s endeavors. I miss these ones who’ve left for grandeur shores to be with our Sweet Lord. But I cherish those who walk beside me & have stayed the course to always love me. I know I have a Savior who comforts my weary soul, but I’m thankful that He shows His love through the tender-hearted ones.
