It was just a little note, A simple minute note, sent with lots of love; Posted on the spur of the moment, With a prayer to God above ... To a friend not seen for many years, Never dreaming a fleeting thought Could arrive right at a tragic time; A heart needful of the words, she wrote. For, life had become meaningless, Full of darkness and despair; With no hope to heave another breath. The heavy weight just too much to bear. But, that hasty note arrived in time And touched her heart with care. A little love, somebody thinking of me, A life for me to share. She read that skimpy note over and over; Pouring over it, clutching it to her heart. With tears soaking into her pillow, It was just enough. Unsuspected, just a little thought, A tiny shaft of light Some hope to live for ... To make it through the night. Then, a sweet phone call, on the dawn, And old friends were together, once more. God brought about a miracle To mend that heart, so torn. The thought could have been quenched, A life lost in deepest sorrow. "I'm thinking of you" is all The heavenly love shared, For the gift of another tomorrow. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. Carry each others burdens and, in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ. Ephesians 5:6, 6:2 |
