Your Grief For What You’ve Lost by Barbara McAfee

Your Heart Knows the Way Home by Theresa Martin

For all the gaps in history,

the struggles you cannot fix,

the mysteries you could not solve,

the decisions that make no sense,

you will find that by grace

all along there were songs

rising up from the field,

humming high over the trees.

These melodies

have traveled

through the ages

to find their way to you.

singing low, singing low,

you have never been alone.

For all your soul still longs to know,

trust these songs to carry you home.
