Dear Crystal,

There are times when it is near impossible for a heart to be comforted. This is a blessing in a way because in the depth of your sorrow you also experience the depth of your love- a love for someone who is because of Christ, “straight through forever”- where one day you will be holding your angel again.

Love,

John

Here I am again, in the quiet of my empty arms.
The days that filled our lives passed so quickly- like shooting stars.

Yet in silence I can hear; echo’s from heaven- love that is near.
Hope in the darkness. Light from an angel.
Arms that are empty will soon be holding you.

The fears that fill my mind have been like the pounding of ocean waves.
Yet in silence I can know, I will hold you in a coming day.

For silence I see the way- a door that has opened- the love that He gave.
And that’s where I’ll find you- straight through forever,
and arms that are empty will soon be holding you.
