When we lose someone and pray for a sign

She set and she cried Her grief could not be contained On the bench in front of the stone engraved With her husbands name Illness conquered her lover God came to take him home Heart filled with grief Empty of feeling...all alone Each day she came prayng for a sign From up above...one that would show that in heaven was her love Each night she dreamed of his hands touching her face Memories of years spent loving Would never be erased She brought a flower to the grave that day Sat on the bench and with tears in her eyes She started to pray God , "Show me a sign, please let me know that he is in heaven with you Cause i love him so..... Snow was falling softly all around It formed a small mound on the ground She heard a whisper that said ,"Look!" Turning her head toward her husbands grave two soft handprints before it were made God answers our prayers when we are so grieved All He asks of us is to believe

So very touching, Kathy, and albeit heartbreaking, one can feel the solace in the sight of the soft hand-prints. Beautiful write. ~Hugs, Elizabeth

That is so beautiful Kathleen and so touching. It made me cry, today I visited the cemetry and took some daffodils for my aunt who lived with us and was more like a mum to me as it is the anniversary of her death today, I also took some red roses for Steve my boyfriend who died as the 6th march is the day we started going out. I was sat at the cemetry and felt so alone, I looked for a sign, I am not sure what but just something to comfort me and let me know I was not alone. I did not get a sign and walked away heavy hearted but I believe that I was meant to read your poem today, it has brought me comfort, Thank you. God bless. Baz
