It's the Thought That Counts

It's the Thought That Counts

Often in times of trouble we  
don't know what to say,  
So we choose to say nothing,  
and sometimes run away.  
When friends are really hurting,  
we don't know what to do,
So we offer weak excuses  
or say we're hurting too.

It really doesn't matter
what kind of gift we bring;  
We only need to be there
if we don't bring a thing.

It truly is amazing
what a hug can do,  
When heartache numbs the senses,  
and friends depend on you.

There's comfort just in knowing  
that you are not alone,  
When tears are overflowing,  
and hearts are cold as stone.

It's the loving prayers of others  
that balance our accounts,  
For when we measure love,
it's still the thought that counts.

I could just lay down and wiggle my toes in these words....so soothing and hopeful.  That is what Spirituality is.......bringing life into dry bones.....replacing worn out thoughts with new beginnings...refreshing, re-vitalizing....re-born.....reaping....re-joicing....(I'd better stop...don't want to hog all the "re"'s....lol)

Thank you for sharing this and the other (dare I beg for more....lol)??????
