He asked for a blessing
From the dying women
She touched his forehead
And said her last words:
“I bless you in the name
Of all that is good and strong
And beautiful. Always have
The strength to live. Love life
And if despair enters your
Heart, look for me in the
Evenings when the wind
Is gentle and the owls sing
In the hills. I shall be with you”
He quietly left after thanking her
He felt happy, sad, full, and
Empty all at the same time
He walked in the fading light
Around him the moonlight
Glittered on the pebbles of
The land and in the night sky
A million stars sparkled
We must all take the blessing
As our own as it is full of wisdom
When bad things happen
Accept them and take these
Experiences and build ourselves
Up from them, not weakness. Oh,
If we only had that strength to
See the blessing and read it
Time and time again, our offish
Life would be on track to a
Happy existence and we all want that
