Yesterday a friend shared a short poem in a small booklet she carries with her at all times. Pam has had more than most of changes and losses in her life and this one has helped her often:
 
God Heals
 
"For each and every aching heart
In this old world today
There is a cure -- one safe and sure;
Just this  -- learn how to pray.
 
"Pour out your aching heart to Him
Who understands and cares;
He is the only one who knows,
The only one who shares.
 
"God can -- and does -- heal broken hearts,
And gives us life anew;
He's ready  -- waiting -- for your prayers;
He'll do it now -- for you."
 
~ Mary Lavinia Silvia
