One of the poems from my book, Pulse Points of a Woman's World. A poem I kept hanging over my computer the entire time I battled with bladder cancer and dealt with the loss of my husband. |

Let me love
though love
may go unrequited,
An empty heart
is much heavier
than a stone.
Let me have faith,
though faith
be often blighted,
Without it
we are not
strong enough
to walk alone.
Let me laugh,
even if it
is bitter laughter
Mocking my own
carefully kept
secret sorrow..
Love,
faith,
and laughter…
Armed
with these
three gifts,
I need not fear
tomorrow, nor, tomorrow.

Wonderful writing, Sylvia. I can readily understand how re-reading it would help in your daily trials. I don't often admit it, but I gain much comfort at times by reading some of my own writing. I thank God for it, knowing it is given by Him.
